Birdsong Fairy Trail

The Birdsong Fairy Trail at Mendon Ponds Park near Henrietta, New York is an easy 0.8-mile loop trail that features a neat fairy and troll forest walk.

Walk Description
This is less of a hike and more of an easy forest walk; however, the Birdsong Fairy Trail is a unique place to explore near Rochester, New York due to its plentiful and colorful mixture of fairy houses. Visitors will begin at the main parking lot at the Wild Wings Nature Center at the park. Walk from the entrance and southeast to reach a trail junction and trailhead sign for the Birdsong Fairy Trail. The fairy houses can be found along this route. The Birdsong Fairy Trail encompasses this small square of trails, so take a left-hand turn at each trail junction to head back to parking.

Along the way, walkers will find ~30 different fairy houses along with a handful of wildlife blinds for viewing birds or deer. There's even a Little Free Library located at mile 0.2. The fairy houses will end (as of May 2023) around mile 0.45 at the 2nd left-hand turn in the loop.

Parking Hikers will find a large parking lot at the Wild Wings Nature Center at the coordinates provided.
