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.

Looking Back While Climbing

As you climb that final bit up Owls Head, there is a ridge located above the little low spot where the Ranger's cabin is located between the col and Owls Head. The Ranger's cabin was probably located in such a lower elevation due to access to a spring.

Packed Up and Ready To Go

See I'm all packed up and ready to go. Kayak is on the roof, and the site is all cleaned up. I don't leave a mess or do ny kind of damage to site. Anything unburnt in the fire pit, I haul out.
