Fishers ParkLocated in the hamlet of Fishers, this park offers the diversity of passive and active recreation opportunities. Visitors can see a multitude of wildlife from deer, squirrels and other woodland creatures to waterfowl and trout that spawn in the spring and salmon in the fall. The extensive trail system is a great place to winter hike and/or cross country ski. Trails meander through the park across wooded ridges, through wetland areas and along the banks of Irondequoit Creek. There are two tennis courts, a ball field and a picnic area with tables. Acreage off Old Dutch Road provides you with rolling trails with beautiful vistas.
