East Rochester is uniquely centered within the heart of the Northeast Region, providing an economic bridge to Washington, New York, Toronto, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Boston, Baltimore and Montreal.
East Rochester is a stimulating, inventive, metropolitan community. Yet this high-tech community has also preserved so many links with the past that it claims more sites on the National Register of Historic Places than any other city its size. In 1998, Rochester was one of only ten communities nationwide to receive the All-America City Award, a recognition of its status as a great place to live.
Greater Rochester is also a terrific place to visit...for a day, a week, a month, or even longer. Whether you're in the mood for museum hopping or antique hunting, cultural pleasures or sporting adventures, scenic cruising or bargain choosing, history, mystery, artistry...just name it, and you can do it here!
The autumn and winter months in East Rochester are filled with sporting action for both the spectator and the amateur athlete. Playing in the Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester War Memorial, the Rochester Americans (fondly called the "Amerks") indulge cheering fans with their Calder Cup-winning excitement. Also found in this newly renovated, indoor stadium is the city's professional lacrosse team-the Rochester Knighthawks.
Those looking for their own brand of sporting activity will soon discover that East Rochester has plenty to offer. Hiking and biking through parks, along the Erie Canal, or on scenic rural roads are wonderful pastime during brisk autumn days filled with colorful foliage. There are also whitewater rafting opportunities in fast-running waters.
Indoor action includes baseball and softball batting cages; golf and tennis under domes; swimming pools; volleyball, squash, and racquetball courts. Bowling is big league here too, with hundreds of lanes from which to choose.
In snow-filled months, cross-country skiers have an abundance of park trails to explore while downhill skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts will find nearby Bristol Mountain the perfect destination. There are public ice skating opportunities both inside and out, including the downtown rink at Manhattan Square Park with its city-skyline view.
Ice fishing is the winter version of this year-round sport; or try something different such as indoor rock climbing or a game of splat ball. East Rochester's magnificent array of waterways is among its top attractions for visitors. Happily, there are also an abundant number of ways to enjoy the natural beauty, as well as recreational and sporting opportunities, offered by these natural resources. Irondequoit Bay is a sailing, fishing, waterskiing delight, while the nearby Finger Lakes stretch their long watery trails into the heart of New York State's rich wine-making region.
Seneca Park Zoo, Seabreeze Amusement Park, and hiking or golfing at Durand-Eastman Park are three more reasons to spend time traveling along East Rochester's many shores.
