Fresh air & sunshine, a warm lake breeze, bird watchers paradise, and some pretty awesome fishing. A marina for boater enjoyment and a park with indoor/outdoor pavillion. Hiking trails for nature lovers have much to offer. Great area all in all!
I was in Rochester for the Clothesline Festival and before I went home I went exploring the Braddock Bay Wildlife Management Area. Part of this area is actually a state park which does not show up on Google Maps. I did not see any wildlife. No birds or butterflies. The swampy areas were, of course, muddy so dress accordingly. Parking was free. Watch your speed along the Parkway because the troopers were taking pictures. After being at Braddock Bay I drove up Edgemere Road and took some pictures along the lake shore. Braddock Bay also has a boat launch. I did not see any restaurants nearby. I doubt I would visit again on my next visit to Rochester.
Beautiful place too sit And write or just enjoy the scenery of what nature has to offer Us all to enjoy.Bring your Family or Friend for Fun or Romantic evening.
Beautiful wild area for hiking and exploring. The raptor banding and birdsong banding areas are a great resource, as are the specialty hikes they offer throughout the year. Its near the lake and marshlands, so it can get quite swampy, but worth a visit if you like hiking in areas less frequented.
Lots of TVs, none of them were turned on.
Nice view. Breeze on a good day. A little stinky w the algae and seaweed
Nice place to go nd clear your head
Very peaceful, and nice place,and good fishing!
Great place to bring your dogs. Has a nice scenic over look out Braddocks Bay. The best time in my opinion to go here is in the fall when the leaves start changing colors
Gorgeous place. Worth noting there are multiple park/destinations here. My first two times were at Burger Park which is also part of the management area. So be aware there are at least two separate adventures at Braddock Bay!
I enjoy this place and visit frequently. Its a good place to relax and take my dog for a walk.
The excavator that was digging potholes and channels to them could have done a better job. U can NOT get to them . Buck pond they did good but Braddocks is a joke what a wasted of money on that project. Cant do it right dont do it at all. Lots of acres of cattails still would be nice to see bigger potholes.
Always enjoyable and a great place to be during bird migration.
Nature. Need I say more?!
This place is beautiful!!
Ive enjoyed this area since I was a kid. I am never disappointed going back. Mother Nature is awesome!
Eagle migration in this area in late spring. Spectacular
Nice place for a walk, just watch out for hunters
Nice get away day trip, got there in less than 2 hours. Spent about 20 minutes there. Good times.
Loved it....
Decent fishing in the right conditions. A little loud with the parkway but otherwise, okay.
Love this area, it seems to improve in water quality every year. Great for kayaking, putting your boat in at the newly renovated boat launch( not extremely deep in the bay), and for its small beaches outside of the bay. Construction is going on and this makes parking a little more cumbersome due to the longer walk, but its worth it!!!
Beautiful park. Perfect place to relax and get back to nature!!
Easy trail, dirt road. If you follow the road its 2.1 mile loop with side trails for longer options. Got to watch for Coyotes at night.
Very peaceful I love it I go there to meditate
Beautiful natural park on Braddock Bay. Great area for bird watching and very nice shelters for parties.
Always love coming here its beautiful!
Cool area with few picnic areas
Nice park close to home. Good birding.
Love to visit with a special one!!
Very nice place for bird watching
Great place to walk my dog! I love coming here just for a change of scenery! Close enough to the parkway so you cant get lost, but far enough from it that you cant really hear the traffic!
Beautiful place for walking, lake views, and birding - close to Rochester.
Nice place for kids to play
I love nature, and these wildlife protected areas are very important to our environment. They bring much to those who enjoy, hobby and study wildlife and nature preserve areas.
Nice boat launch although the parking for the boat launch is is not very good
This is a really fun place to kayak if you like variety. There are two creeks running off the bay with numerous little trails into the marsh...you can explore for hours. Fairly calm water. The bay itself has some quiet spots but also more open water with movement and swells near the mouth, depending on wind conditions. The breakwalls make some interesting and sheltered spots to paddle, with a few sandy areas where you can pull up and enjoy the shallows. If wind and water are fairly calm and you are confident with your kayak, its a blast to go out on the lake and ride the waves along the shoreline! Always be mindful of weather conditions and very cautious about going out, especially when kayaking solo. Stay near shore.
Good place to take the 12 gauge for a walk during deer season
Stopped by to do a little fishing. Nice place to relax.
Need more trail management in the back wood area. Nothing has been done to these areas in several years. It is a shame to see them over grown.
Beautiful park on the shoreline of LAKE ONTARIO.
Great place. Went fishing there and loved the fact that practically the whole town was fishing.
It was beautiful seeing water rushing in over the break. Peaceful and quiet
The service
Great area to see wildlife and ducks
Amazing sunrises over the lake
Best waterfoul hunting
Its quite and peaceful most of the time and theres usually not a lot of people which make it good for relaxing.
Lake level has flooded the shore making it a muddy mess launching your kayak.
Great place, love what they do
Love to walk here
Great park. Clean well maintained park, has bathrooms and a play area for children a few tables for picnics buildings to rent for special events. Observation areas for migrating birds.
Beautiful place
Good for a walk, or fishing.
Its a fun place to go, but gets boring after about an hourBut great place to bring a date
