Ellison Park
447 acres of trails, creek, and meadows for leashed dog walks
About this park
A sprawling Monroe County park along Irondequoit Creek with miles of wooded trail, open meadows, and a disc golf course. Dogs are welcome leashed throughout, and the size means you can find an empty stretch most days. Sections near the creek flood after heavy rain, so trail conditions vary by season.
Amenities
What visitors say
Synthesized from 1536 Google reviewsThe trail network is the standout: enough mileage that even busy weekend mornings rarely feel crowded, with creek crossings, woods, and meadow stretches in the same loop. Disc golf and playgrounds keep the rest of the family busy.
A wide mix of trail walkers, runners, disc golfers, and birders. Dog walkers tend to stick to the wooded loops where the crowd thins quickly past the parking lots.
Best for
Before you go
Check recent weather before heading out; creekside trails flood and stay muddy for days after big rain. Leash required park-wide. Multiple entrances make it easy to start near a quieter trailhead on weekends.
