Cobbs Hill Park
0.69-mile reservoir loop at the top of the hill, leashed-only
About this park
A 109-acre Olmsted-designed hilltop park whose paved reservoir loop is one of the most popular leashed-dog walks in the city. The drive to the top opens up panoramic views of Rochester, and the grass slopes off the loop give dogs space to sniff while owners stretch their legs. The fenced city dog park sits within the same grounds for off-leash time.
