ORLEANS COUNTY, NY
If escaping
from the noise
is what you are looking
for, whether for a weekend stay or extended trip, Orleans County, NY has
a variety of choices for you and your family.
We invite you to unplug and reconnect with our small Canal Town charm
and back to basics nature along our waterways. We are located on the
banks of Lake Ontario between Niagara Falls and Rochester, NY including
25 miles on the Erie Canalway Trail. The waters of Lake Ontario, the fa-
mous Oak Orchard River and the tributaries—once deemed the Ultimate
Fishing Town, offer world class year-round fishing for trout and salmon.
Cast a line yourself or hire one of our 40+ expert guides and charters to
enjoy a fishing adventure you will remember for a lifetime. Sailing, kayak-
ing, canoeing, paddle-boarding and hydro-cycling are a great way to
relax and be one with nature.
Nestled in the lush farmlands of Western New York, Orleans County offers a more laid back way of life, away
from the hustle of the big city. There are farmers markets to visit, small quaint canal villages to explore, the Cob-
blestone Museum and Medina Railroad Museum exhibiting the largest toy train display in NY State. Taste our
award-winning wines and craft beverages made from locally grown fruits and/or honey, along the Niagara Wine
Trail and connected to the Finger Lakes Wine Region. Our fantastic restaurants, comfortable lodging of the small,
hometown type, and interesting sites to see are just a few things that make Orleans County unique.
Our communities are full of friendly and creative people who stand by ready to help make your stay the most en-
joyable it can be and is something you just don’t find everywhere – where life slows down to an enjoyable pace
and allows you to be rejuvenated after dealing with the hustle and bustle that is today’s life.
