These glacial ice melt carvings left fertile lands which today is used in farming (and from the late 20th century to the present, housing developments). The soil is rich for farming certain types of apples, cherries, plums, peaches, and pears. Penfield shares Irondequoit Bay with the towns of Irondequoit and Webster.
