Barehill Unique Area

One place we planned on including in our driving tour is Bare Hill Unique Area, Council Rock in Rushville, NY. Bare Hill Unique Area and Council Rock in Rushville is a trail by Canandaigua Lake which was the home of the Seneca Nation. Each Labor Day at Council Rock, which is at the end of one of the trails, there is a ceremonial lighting of a bonfire to start off the Festival of Lights. The Festival of Lights is celebrated by people all around Canandaigua Lake in celebration of peace and a bountiful harvest.
