The Hogsback Overlook
The ridge jutting into the canyon is called "The Hogsback" for its resemblance to a wild boar's high hunched spine. The Genesee river flows one mile around this narrow peninsula. The river turns in many directions within the park, including nearly due south in its overall northward flow, but this is its most abrupt loop.
