Hamilton County 📍

Hamilton County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. Its county seat is Lake Pleasant. It is one of only two counties that lie entirely within the Adirondack Park (Essex is the other). As of the 2010 census, the population was 4,836, making it the least populous county in New York. It is also the most sparsely populated county in the eastern half of the United States, with a population density of just over three people per square mile.

Hamilton County is in the north central part of the state, northwest of Albany. It lies entirely within Adirondack Park and consists mostly of publicly owned parkland. As the tourist folk will tell you, there is no permanent traffic light in the county.

Wakely Mountain Firetower Views

This map gives an overview of mountains and lakes that are visible (and not visible) from Wakely Mountain Firetower. I'm new at doing visibility analysis so it's possible that I don't have the visibility completely correct, but it's an interesting experiment.

Sacandaga Primitive Area – Whitehouse Campsites

The DEC recently GPS'd the various designated campsites at Whitehouse area of the Sacanadaga Primitive Area along West River Road in Wells. This provides a pretty accurate map of the various campsite locations. West River Road isn't open to motor vehicles yet, but will open later in May once the frost is out of the ground and the dirt road isn't too soft.

Sprague Pond

Located a quarter mile north of Cedar River Road, about half way to Cedar River Flow at Moose River Plains, is the trail head for Sprague Pond. It's a short hike a quarter mile north of the road, along it's outlet creek to a modestly sized, swampy pond. Campsites along the pond are very informal, and lightly used.
