Turn right on Ranney Dr. When Ranney Dr. crosses over the creek – you can pick up the orange trail, on the left. Follow the orange trail over to Broadmoor, cross over and continue on Orange. Follow orange between the ponds, then bear to the right to follow orange over to Aldrich. Turn right on Aldrich, then left into the White Brook Nature Center. Turn left in the parking lot to continue on orange. Follow the orange markers thru the park and you should come out (hitting white near the end) at the corner of Ayrault and Aldrich. Follow Ayrault back to the canal and return to the basin. Distance is 13.9 miles.

TRAILS ONLY –for those who feel there are too many roads to get to the trails – meet at the Park and Ride – then car pool over with me to the parking lot on Ayrault next to the Perinton Bike Hike Way. We will make it a loop by following the Hike way over to Mason, then pick up the Crescent Trail over to Broadmoor, the White Brook Nature Trails, then run along the south side of the canal all the way to the Perinton Bike Hike Way and back to the cars. 8.3 miles or maybe more.
