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.

Mason Lake

This updated map contains the exact locations of campsites and boat launches along Mason Lake based on the DEC's GPS-based survey of the campsites last fall. While previous maps that I made up using heads-up digitizing and my own notes were fairly accurate, this map takes it up a notch.

Chub And Trout Lake

|

Chub Pond and Trout Lake in principle should be relatively easy to access, they as they are just a little ways from the put in used to access Good Luck Lake. Unfortunately, the West Branch of the Sacanadaga River has numerous strainers and down trees, and streams that flow out out of both Chub Pond and Trout Lake are narrow, shallow, and often impassable in times of low water. They also are very marshy along the shoreline, which can make it challenging to portage around the shallow water.
