# Crescent Trail

About 35 miles of mostly single-track dirt footpaths across Perinton, built and kept up with the volunteer Crescent Trail Hiking Association. The orange main trail runs about 17.5 miles. Dogs must be leashed; bikes and motor vehicles are banned.

## Good to know

Printed maps $2 at Town Hall and Community Center; section maps online. Connects to the Erie Canal trail and RS&E Trolley Trail.

## History

- The South Section crosses the Irondequoit-Genesee buried valley, described as a pre-glacial route of the Genesee River. ([source](https://perinton.gov/departments/randp/parks-department/crescent-trail/))
