 
The incomparable beauty and quaint charms of Rockland County
offer peaceful, pastoral countryside spiced by river villages,
historic sites and, arguably, the world's most beautiful river
valley. It's unmatched as a getaway spot for a day, a week,
or more. There are magnificent Hudson River views that once
inspired a whole school of American painters. 32,000 acres of
unspoiled parklands. Rolling mountains, sparkling lakes for
swimming, fishing and boating. Unique historic sites that made
important contributions to America's earliest history. Intriguing
museums, landmarks, music and theatre await you.
But don't be fooled by this seemingly rural charm. Because of
the county's proximity to New York City (16 miles), and residents
that are no less than icons in the theatre, arts and business,
there is a sophistication found only in big cities. With Palisades
Center Mall and close-by Woodbury Commons, boutiques, shops
and galleries, you will find endless shopping opportunities.
And restaurants—we rival Manhattan's best. We have some
great things hidden in the little corners of our world.
