Considering how long the river is, there are multiple roads named River
something.  Lake Avenue was, as you say, going to the Lake... the main
route from the city out to the lake, and the trolley run as well... 
There is a fairly long River Road that runs along the other side of the
river, but on the south side of the city instead of the north (towards
the lake).  There's also a Lakeshore Blvd that runs along the lake for a
while (on the other side of the river from where we were), and a Lake Rd
that takes over further east, across a couple of counties IIRC...

One has those just about everywhere, at least here in the east..  ;) 
And streets that make turns, with a new named street going straight at
that intersection... 

If you follow the street that is Lake Ave for most of its length, you'd
find that it was State St right in the middle of downtown, and Exchange
St below downtown to its other end.  ;)  On the other side of the river
is St. Paul Blvd, which pretty much starts at the south end of downtown.
There's no easy connection to Mt. Hope Ave which follows the river for a
ways to the south of downtown... until River Rd takes over.  On the
other side of the river, Exchange dumps onto Plymouth, and then (with a
little being away from the river) the road that follows the river on the
west side is Scottsville Rd...   The Genesee River actually starts
somewhere in PA, I think... :)
