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.

You know, I prefer the east side of Auger Falls. 🌲

Auger Falls Via Griffin (East Side)

  • Less crowds, actually its rare you see anyone here
  • Most of the trip is on dirt roads and a fairly dry old road that’s now maintained as a snowmobile trail
  • The bushwhack from the snowmobile trail to the falls can be a bit hard but listen and you’ll find the falls
  • And then you can hike back along the snowmobile trail to Auger Flats to observe wildlife
  • Plus you cross that bridge on Teachout road and can enjoy the falls on the East Branch Sacandaga River

Second Pond Trail

The Second Pond Trail is a 2.5 mile hike back from Chatiemac Lake Road in Bakers Mills. While the trail can be muddy, especially in the spring, this remote lake is good for solitude and brookies.
