Monroe County, New York was founded in 1821; Rochester is its county seat. The 3rd largest urban area in the State of New York, the county is located in the Finger Lakes Region on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Because it has a little of everything to offer all year round—such as shopping, museums, lodging, and outdoor activities—this is definitely a vacation destination.

If you're looking for the perfect way to have a relaxing day out with friends, make a reservation at one of the many spas the area has to offer—this would be a great treat for a bride-to-be or new mother. For some incredible photography opportunities, visit Letchworth State Park to see the "Grand Canyon of the East." The hiking trails are among the most scenic in the country, so take a lunch and just spend the day communing with nature.
