The Turning Point Park parking lot and river overlook are at the east end of Boxart Street, which runs from Lake Avenue. The pneumatic cement tubes cross the Genesee Riverway Trail twice (it switches back) once above, and once below, and you can definitely hear them working when they're unloading.
They trim the trees below the viewing overlook periodically, but not lately and things are pretty well leafed out now. Still, you may be able to get get a shot of part of the ship from the overlook, but will have to settle for lower angle views of the other parts from the trail(s) down below.
About the best way to get a shot of the whole ship is from the walkway or dolphins around the turning basin, and if you can catch her doing her departure turn, that's a treat. They were dredging in the turning basin on May 31, not sure whether they're finished there yet, but if they're still working, how that will affect what she does (the SB Roman supposedly backed all the way out to the lake at least once due to inability to turn).
