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.

Auger Falls Via Griffin (East Side)

|

A little used way of hiking back to Auger Falls via NY 8 and Griffin and the Auger Falls Snowmobile Trail. You can either park on NY 8 or at the Griffin Parking lot, then hike back from there. It's about two miles, hiking along an old woods road. The best views of the falls are short bushwhack from the the trail when it runs along the river, heading south along the river, until you are looking directly over the falls.

Overview map of Moose River Plains. This shows the location of the campsites and major trails throughout the area. I probably could improve on this map, but I think this does give on a good overview that can be easily printed on an 8x11" sheet of paper.
