Now To those of you who have been longtime readers of Only In New York, or who have simply been living in the Empire State long enough, will remember that beginning back in 2014 a growing population of fairy homes inhabited Tinker Nature Park near Rochester. In heartbreaking news, earlier this year all of us found out that the magical Fairy Trail of the small-town park was being removed due to an increasing amount of vandalism that was taking place.
Leaving the state of New York without any fairy trails, our residents were left wondering where they would seek out enchanting trails like this that they were once able to explore. Thankfully, the creators of the original fairy homes at Tinker Nature Park have teamed up with Monroe County to unveil a bigger and better fairy trail that’s surprisingly not too far from where the original one was set up. Ready to see what this new magical stroll through the woods has to offer? Then let’s take a trip to New York’s newest fairy trail!
Now located inside of Monroe County's largest park, Mendon Ponds Park will be your new favorite outdoor destination in Western New York.
Just over 10-miles south of Rochester, Mendon Ponds Park in the past has drawn in visitors with its alluring natural wonders like the unique kettle hole known as the Devil's Bathtub.
While others make use of the park's fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities, with everything from colonies of deer and beavers to a marvelous variety of birds that are known to call this place home.
With more than two dozen fairy homes now decorating the scenic trail, visitors from all over have begun to explore Medon Ponds Park in an attempt to seek out these enchanting structures.
If you've yet to explore the Fairy Trail along the Birdsong Trail at Mendon Ponds Park, what're you waiting for? Make your year complete with an enchanting stroll through the woods.
