*** Editor’s Note: This fairy trail has moved ***

Rochester may be one of our largest cities in New York, but all around this urban area, you can find a ton of hidden outdoor adventures that are just a quick drive away. Less than a half-hour south of the city, you can explore one of the most magical trails in all of Monroe County. Prepare to be wowed!

Covering nearly 70-acres of land, Tinker Nature Park looks ironically enough like a place where you would most likely find the famous Tinkerbell herself!

As you walk through the woods you'll see everything from fairy doors on treetops to actual fairy homes situated on tree stumps, and things like fairy ladders and swings decorated all over the trees.
