Delmar, New York 📍

Delmar is a hamlet in the Town of Bethlehem, in Albany County, New York, United States. It is a suburb of the neighboring city of Albany. The community is bisected by NY Route 443 (Delaware Avenue), a major thoroughfare, main street, and route to Albany.

A census-designated place (CDP) has been established since 1980 by the U.S. Census Bureau for tabulating the population of what the census has defined as the boundaries of the urbanized area in and around Delmar. The population was 8,292 at the 2000 census, but it was not included as a CDP in the 2010 census.

In 2005, CNN/Money Magazine named the Delmar ZIP Code (an area larger than the Delmar hamlet or CDP) as one of the “Best Places to Live” in America, rating it the 22nd best place to live among what it called “Great American Towns.

Didn't have much luck fishing on Thompsons Lake but I didn't get out there real early, and it was kind of a cool but sunny day.

Betty Brook Bridge Out

|

While I didn't get a good view of the bridge, driving down to Betty Brook Campsite there is now a "bridge out" sign on the bridge, with some pretty big holes in the deck. I hope they fix that soon.

More Deer On The Road.

Lately, there have been so many deer out on the roads with mild temperatures. This one was seen on NY 443/Delaware Turnpike near the Veterinary Clinic as you head out of Delmar.
