Essex County

Essex County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 39,370. Its county seat is Elizabethtown. Along with Hamilton County, Essex is entirely within the Adirondack Park.

Essex County is in the northeastern part of New York State, just west of Vermont along the eastern boundary of the State. The eastern boundary of Essex County is Lake Champlain, which serves as the New York – Vermont border at an elevation of just under 100 feet (30.5 m). The highest natural point in New York, Mount Marcy at 5,344 feet (1,629 m), is in the Town of Keene. The Ausable River forms a partial northern boundary for the county.

Looking across the lake from the village park at the great Adirondack woods that is largely flat with some peaks west of here.

Hammond Pond

On the way back home, I stopped by Hammond Pond, which is what Hammond Pond Wild Forest is named after. I wasn't particularly impressed, the horseflies were bad, and I was tired so I only stopped briefly. Quick hike back on an old woods road from the parking area.
