Discover the charm as you cruise along our country byways and scenic waterways while experiencing our rich history, rural culture and exhilarating outdoor fun. Don't forget to stop in at our bountiful farm markets, charming gift shoppes and unique museums along the Erie Canal, Historic Ridge Road and the Seaway Trail.

We're served by Exits 48 & 48A of the New York State Thruway (I-90). Routes 104 and 31 run east and west through the county to Niagara Falls and Canada's Queen Elizabeth Way.
