Turning Point

Folks can walk along that elevated trail on up to the mouth of the Genesee River. It's not far from here. The Lower Falls is about a mile upstream from this point.

 

"Turning Point Park is a 112-acre wilderness setting in an urban environment. The term “Turning Point” has double meaning to the Charlotte residents nearby. Historically, the wide basin in the nearby Genesee River was a physical place that ships could turn around before encountering the Lower Falls. This was once a heavily used industrial area with ships visiting docks to load and unload coal, wheat, feldspar, paper boxes, and tourists. An active cement plant still operates on this site"
