Spencerport, the last town before Rochester. Shortly, the canal begins its arc around the southern edge of the Rochester area. The trail crosses over to the south the canal and is paved from here to just beyond Fairport.

We overnighted at the Motel 6 Rochester Airport just off the trail. It was quite nice; but was hard finding places to eat in the vicinity. We settle on El Latino, which bills itself as an unassuming spot for Latin American eats.
