  • The Lost City of Tryon Trail Is an Approved Historic Trail Of
    The Lost City of Tryon Trail is an approved Historic Trail of the Boy Scouts of America and is administered by the Seneca Waterways Council Scouting Historical Society. It offers hikers a fantastic opportunity to experience a geographic location of enduring historic significance in Upstate New York. 2018 EDITION Seneca Waterways Council Scouting Historical Society 2320 Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Road, Rochester, NY 14623 version 2.0 rdc 10/2018 A Nice Hike For Any Season Introduction The Irondequoit Bay area was once at the crossroads of travel and commerce for Native Americans. It was the home of the Algonquin and later the Seneca, visited by a plethora of famous explorers, soldiers, missionaries and pioneers. This guidebook provides only a small glimpse of the wonders of this remote wilderness prior to 1830. The Lost City of Tryon Trail takes you through a historic section of Brighton, New York, in Monroe County’s Ellison Park. The trail highlights some of the remnants of the former City of Tryon (portions of which were located within the present park) as well as other historic sites. It was also the location of the southernmost navigable terminus of Irondequoit Creek via Irondequoit Bay, more commonly known as “The Landing.” The starting and ending points are at the parking lot on North Landing Road, opposite the house at #225. Use of the Trail The Lost City of Tryon Trail is located within Ellison Park and is open for use in accordance with park rules and regulations. Seasonal recreation facilities, water, and comfort stations are available. See the park’s page on the Monroe County, NY website for additional information.

    SUBSURFACE GEOLOGY OF THE LOWER GENESEE RIVER VALLEY REGION: A PROGRESS REPORT ON THE EVIDENCE FOR MIDDLE WISCONSIN SEDIMENTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ICE SHEET EROSION MODELS RICHARD A. YOUNG LES SIRKIN Department of Geological Sciences Department of Earth Sciences SUNY College at Geneseo Adelph i Un iversity Geneseo, NY 14454 Garden City, NY 11530 INTRODUCTION Deep bore holes and gravel pit exposures in the Genesee Valley region north of Avon (Figure 1,9) have provided a number of organic-rich sedimentary horizons that have been dated at the University of Arizona AMS facility in the range between 26,000 and >48,800 years BP. A majority of the finite age determinations lie within the interval from 30,000± to 43,700± years BP, implying a Middle Wisconsin age for the deposits sampled. Most of the materials dated were collected from buried glacial outwash, lacustrine sequences, or overridden peat incorporated in younger till. The stratigraphic relationships suggest that the dated materials are most likely correlative with the Plum Point and/or Port Talbot Interstadials best known from localities in Ontario, Canada. NEW YORK STATE lOOKM GENESEE RIVER BASIN Figure 1: Location of Irondequoit Bay and Middle Wisconsin gravel pit site in Genesee Valley. 89 The most likely timing of the main ice advance into the Genesee Valley, based on the average of the best constrained ages, is circa 35,000± years BP. This coincides with the recent revision of the H-4 Heinrich event (iceberg discharges) in the north Atlantic and the Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles seen in the Greenland ice' cores (Bond and others, 1992, 1993; Taylor and others, 1993).
