Timeline

Grab a cider and some kettle corn at Mullers Cider House. The staff know their taps and can help you pick a local pour while you soak in the pre-sunset energy.
14:30
Walk 22 minutes SSW to Cobb's Hill Reservoir Park. Climb up to the reservoir edge for a panoramic view of downtown Rochester. The large duck pond and open spaces offer a quiet contrast to the city below.
17:00
Stay at the reservoir rim to watch the sunset at 17:00. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow over the skyline and the duck pond.
17:45
Walk back toward the anchor area and stop at Jack's Extra Fancy for a burger. It is a straightforward, satisfying meal to close out the evening.
Local tip
Cobb's Hill is a steady climb. Wear comfortable shoes if you want to enjoy the view without rushing back down.
