Cornwall Preserve

It was a wonderful place to walk and enjoy nature. Lots of flowers, birds, butterflies. The trails are well maintained. One of the pathways goes a long Lake Ontario. Wide grass paths.
Just down the street is Putneyville, and there is a nice deli for lunch or pick up a lunch and sit on the bench at Cornwall Preserve and enjoy a Sunday afternoon. A hidden gem in my book.

One of our favorite go to hikes that is close to home and gets us out of the house for a bit. You can walk through meadow and woods and see orchards and the lake. Sometimes they have a story walk up on one of the trails. There are a couple different trails to follow now, one is very wet seasonally and waterproof boots are recommended. Some of lakeshore trail can be very muddy and wet in the spring. We love doing the entire loop. We start down at the marina end of the trailhead and walk all the way to the woods and back. If you do all the trails to each parking area you can walk about 2.5 miles round trip. We love this trail during all seasons.

Visited as part of a plein air art event sponsored by Genesee Land Trust. All these years in Rochester, I can't believe I never knew this little gem was available for day hikes. Just walking up the orchards to the lake was heaven with the smell of the ripening apples.

Beautiful views and a variety of terrain to hike and appreciate. Love the beautiful old growth forest on the west path and the orchards near the trails look beautiful in every season

Lovely little park with trails going up to the bluffs.

This is a much bigger property and there are more trails along the shore than the size of the parking area would suggest. I enjoyed hiking this preserve.

Beautiful and easy walking trail through tall grasses to scenic Lake Ontario overlooks.

One of our favorite places to take our puppy for a walk. Beautiful views of the lake

It's a really nice walk a little bit of everything

Beautiful place to go quite and peaceful.

Nice hiking area next to Lake Ontario. A mix of field, woods, Lakeview, and a cemetery.

Nice peaceful walk to the water

What a relaxing place to visit! I loved the book to read along the trail!

This is a hidden gem next to Pultneyville. Begins with a lovely stroll through a high meadow loaded with a variety of birds. This is followed up with stunning views of Lake Ontario from several overlooks 40 feet above the shoreline. Sunsets are truly surreal! There's also a section that takes you through a few acres of old forest growth on the West side. Thank You family Cornwall for sharing your family's property with the community!

A hidden gem for country hiking near Lake Ontario.

Great hike for little kids and adults alike, has great trails. There are also small trails you can go through. Some parts of the trail can be muddy depending on if it's rained a lot recently. There are boards to walk over but not on every place.

Great place for a walk along the bluff above the lake. Trail runs along the lake, skirts orchards, and wanders through a small wooded area. Very easy hike with minimal elevation change.

It's a really nice trail, with a great range of landscapes for a shorter hike

One of our favorite hikes

I love hiking here. The trails and preservation are astounding!
