We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Finger Lakes Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“Beautiful scenery no people”

No matter how many times I go the trail is a lot longer than I realize. Never to many people out hiking here so it's a big bonus for me

★★★★★ — Austin , Nov 2021

No people out there good fall hike not to long but it can be steep in places

★★★★★ — Keary , Oct 2024

Very enjoyable mostly shaded trails to hike either alone or with a companion. My dog loves Letchworth Park Trails!

★★★★☆ — David , Jul 2022

This is my backyard I like to call it. Fossils, you like them? You'll like this place. Lots of good hiking.

★★★★★ — John , May 2018

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
