Breese Park is located along the Genesee River in West Henrietta. You’ll find a large parking lot, picnic tables, and woodland play stations along a hard-packed gravel path that follows the river. Even though access to the park is through a highly residential area, this doesn’t feel like a residential park. There are no amenities, like restrooms.
To see the native bluebells and trillium in full bloom, visit between late April and early May.

People often ask me if I get free access to places while exploring. The answer is no unless I’m invited to previews or granted behind-the-scenes access as part of my media role. Generally, I don’t mention my project, Day Trips Around Rochester, NY, because I want the same experience you would have. I create and share content simply because it brings me joy. I would appreciate your support—a cup of coffee or two to help fuel future field trips—if you have found valuable information here that has helped you explore the Rochester area.
There is no date on the information provided here. We stopped by May 2023 & found fitness & play areas located along the trail.
Thank you for the information! I’ll pop over the weekend and see what new features have been added.
