Turning Point Park offers 275 wooded acres along the Genesee River with a notable 3,572-foot boardwalk over the Genesee River Turning Basin, providing unique river access and wildlife viewing opportunities for paddlers and anglers.

The park features hiking and biking trails connecting to the 16+ mile Genesee Riverway Trail, with the boardwalk and trail system winning the American Public Works Association's "Transportation Project of the Year" Award in 2008.

Access is available from the north at Petten Street by the marina with minimal elevation change, making it convenient for launching paddling adventures on the river.
