## What is #TrailsRoc Maps?

Do you live in the Rochester or Finger Lakes region? Are you looking for the perfect trail to hike or run, or want to see what else the area parks have to offer? With #TrailsRoc Maps, you can view professional, high quality trail data on your iPhone or iPad.

#TrailsRoc, the Rochester, New York Trail Running Club, was born on an idea and a dream. “How is it possible that the Rochester and Finger Lakes Region has such world class trail running and yet…there’s no website collecting all the information in one place and promoting trail running?” trailsroc.org was created, and now we offer maps of all these great trails in the palm of your hand.

#TrailsRoc offers maps of over 200 miles of trails in the region. You can browse and navigate in real time, while enjoying the beauty of the trails without the worry of referring to that hard copy of the map.

### 4/5 — Very helpful

*2024-12-13, version 2020.1*

Really helps with some of the local trails but could definitely use an update since it’s been 4 years especially the Crescent Trail.

### 1/5 — Broken!

*2024-06-08, version 2020.1*

Horrible app! I was looking forward to learning some new trails and going hiking with the family but this app crashes as soon as I try to open it! Garbage, fix it! Why would you release such a great resource and refuse to keep it updated so it doesn’t crash on new iOS versions?

### 5/5 — Mendon ponds

*2023-04-10, version 2020.1*

Finally the trails make sense to me.

### 4/5 — Very helpful!

*2021-01-19, version 2020.1*

Excellent for finding your way on trails already mapped.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-06-06, version 2020.1*

Great local trails app with stellar service. I emailed a concern to tech support and my issue was addressed within a couple of hours. I’m excited to explore more of the trails on these maps.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2020-05-12, version 2.1*

This is the best trails map.  It is highly detailed and very accurate, even at parks with many trails.  The maps are clear and nicely set up.  I love the interactive features with parking, trail heads, & points of interest.  I want this app to extend to other counties.... like Ontario and Wayne.  It’s absolutely fabulous.  A must get if you enjoy the trails in this area.  Download now!

### 5/5 — Love The App, YAY for Satellite View Go?

*2018-03-10, version 2.1*

I love this app and use it quite often when I’m out Geocaching. A must have for all hikers. Thanks for adding the sat maps back!

### 4/5 — Great trail info, but please bring back satellite base maps.

*2018-01-22, version 2.0*

This app probably has the best collection trails to explore in the Rochester area!  I like the standard base map in this update (version 2.0) better than the standard road map in the previous version, but I already miss the satellite view which doesn’t appear to be available after this update.

### 5/5 — Love the new updates

*2018-01-15, version 2.0*

More trails. Lots of points of interest. Search by nearby, send directions, links to the websites for more detail and a summary of the park detail. Nice work.  I love it!

### 2/5 — Useless junk

*2017-10-22, version 1.4*

Crashes constantly and the content is inaccurate and incomplete.
