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.

Old Route 30 to Sacandaga Campground

|

On Sunday, I spent some time exploring the Sacandaga Campground. Not because I'd ever want to camp there, but because I was interested about the bridge and layout and how it looked with the Main Branch and West Branch of Sacandaga River coming together. Kind of a pretty location but the campsites are real cramped.

Scanadaga Campground Bridge

|

It's just a single lane motor vehicle bridge, looks like it was rebuilt fairly recently, but it does the job to get people over to the campsites between the two rivers.
