Rob’s Trail is located near the top of Bald Hill between Springwater and Hemlock NY. There are two parking lots, one on the west side of Rt 15A just north of Old Bald Hill Rd South. The other is on the east side of 15A (actually off of Old Bald Hill South). There is a connecting trail between the two parking lots – please watch for traffic while crossing 15A.

From Springwater:  Take Rt 15A north.  In 6.1 miles, the parking lot is on the left just after the north end of Old Bald Hill Rd South.

From Hemlock: Take Rt 15A south.  At 4.7 miles south of the 20A/15A intersection south of Hemlock, the parking lot is on the right.

From Canandaigua: Take US-20 west out of Canandaigua. At the light at Whalen Rd, turn left onto US-20A. Stay on 20A by turning right at the Bristol Valley Hardwoods. Continue through Honeoye to the tee with 15A.  Turn left on 15A (20A turns right). In 4.7 miles, the parking lot is on the right.

From Naples and Wayland: From Main St in Naples, follow US-21 S to Wayland. Turn right onto NY-15 up to Springwater and follow the directions above.

An alternative route from Naples:  This route through Honeoye is 2 minutes longer according to Google maps. I don’t recommend the Google directions that take you up Cratsley Rd which is seasonal. From Main St (US-21), turn west on Clark St (Clark St is 1.2 miles south of the intersection of NY-245 and US-21, and 1.0 miles from the NY-53 intersection with US-21). Clark St becomes Ontario CR 36 which takes you up to US-20A in Honeoye.  Turn left on 20A and left on 15 A. In 4.7 miles, the parking lot is on the right.
