my favorite county in Ontario is York (for obvious reasons)

Am I just really dull?  Your reasons are not obvious to me.
Rush

Rush was formed in Willowdale, which isn't in York.

The area was all in the same county, chill. The York you're referring to could also mean Old Toronto itself.

I love every county in Maryland, including my home one, Harford, and Baltimore city. Aside from Harford, my favorites are Anne Arundel, Calvert, Caroline, Cecil, Charles, Kent, Montgomery, St. Mary's and Talbot.

The southern half of Prince George's outside the nearer DC suburbs is really pretty too. I'd take US 301 (plus US17) back to Tidewater when I to run to DC for work. Captain Billy's is a great place along the Potomac just before the bridge to wait out rush hour if you don't mind getting home at 11 PM. Rural PGC looks like the Delmarva Peninsula just a few miles south of Waldorf and the peninsula itself is amazing, albeit well off anybody's beaten path south of Ocean City.

Harrison County, because of the beaches.

My home county Norfolk, followed by Berkshire.

It would have to be Logan County, AR.  Some of the best fishing can be had in Lake Dardanelle, Paris Lake, and Blue Mountain Lake, and Mt. Magazine gives the best view of it all.
Logan is a very close second for me because of Mt. Magazine. However, I would have to go with Newton for my favorite Arkansas county. Between the Buffalo River, the various waterfalls, & Hawksbill Crag; despite how crowded it may be. I will say it is enjoyed best after a good rain, but not too soon after...

I hope to make it beyond Pensacola someday, as that is due west of there.

I love that whole 301 corridor from Bowling Green, Virginia to Bowie. I used to go to Myrtle Beach that way with my family when my dad was the driver. That part of Prince George's County is like a different region from the rest of it, such as Riverdale and Lanham-Seabrook, where my dad was raised.
From the land of red, white, yellow and black.

For me I've always had a soft spot for Waupaca (pronounced 'wau-PACK-a') County, WI.  Lots of interesting small towns and cities and it's just a fun place to drive around in and explore. Endless little nooks and crannies to poke around in, etc.

If I had to select one county in CA in which to reside, it'd be Sonoma -- lived there in the late '80's/early '90's, and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.  Scenery: a toss-up between Humboldt and Siskiyou counties -- so much stuff to see but never enough time (historically, passing through en route farther north).  Maybe actually after I really retire (yeah, right! -- tried that twice, got roped into something else each time!).

zachary_amaryllis

for colorado, it'd have to be jackson. it has such a nice mix of mountains, and flats (north park area), and its pretty rural.. like 3 people and a cow (i said that somewhere else today..)
clinched:
I-64, I-80, I-76 (west), *64s in hampton roads, 225,270,180 (co, wy)

If I could have afforded Incline Village I would have bought there.  As desert cities go Reno is a pretty nice place to live.  Lots of wide open space to the north.  Mountains, desert, Lake Tahoe, Washoe County, Nevada.

I really love Esmeralda County but that's largely tied to my involvement in the ghost towning hobby.  The fact that such a large swath of land only has about 700 residents and has declined so massively is endlessly fascinating to me.

Bayfield County, WI

From the Big Lake to any of the hundreds of tiny ones; tons of public land, lots of great trout streams, trails for all types of locomotion, waterfalls, and a couple of  wilderness areas.  It's an outdoorsman's smorgasbord. 
Bayfield County is "up north" for those of us who grew up in places others consider "up north".
"That's just like... your opinion, man."

I'll go with Chaffee County.  As a big hiker/mountain "climber", it has the highest amount of 14ers in the state.

I'd love to clinch those counties up there especially Cook County, Minnesota I know not in Wisconsin but Bayfield County is on the way. I would love to travel along WI-13 north of US-2.
