In Memory

We dedicate this website to Christine Sevilla.  Christine was a tireless advocate for preserving local habitats and wetlands.  She knew and loved this section of the Auburn Trail, even before it was scheduled for destruction.  Christine photographed it, wrote about it, and spoke at Town Board meetings  to preserve it.


RRMSEA Top 20 Trails

The Railroad Mills Special Environmental Area is featured in the new book "Best Easy Day Hikes Rochester" by Randi Minetor, Falcon Press.  

RRMSEA is chosen as one of the top 20 easy day hikes in the Rochester area. It is the only site listed outside of Monroe County - specifically because of its unique biodiversity and its ease of access.

Trail Comparison Photos

 
See for yourself the completed  Auburn Trail in Victor - 10' width - designed by a consultant who is a "highway engineer" - i.e. roadbuilders calling themselves trail planners.  

Is this a "trail" or a road?





The Railroad Mills Section as it looks today (views from 2 different sections)
The trail runs on a historic raised railroad bed, built over 150 years ago.

  






Let your voice be heard. We encourage those who want to protect the environment and 
maintain the natural feel of the current trail to let the Trail Planners know.




Our recommended minimal 3ft width for ADA compliancy.
