Oneida County, NY

Oneida County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 234,878. The county seat is Utica. The name is in honor of the Oneida, an Iroquoian tribe that lives in the region.

Oneida County is in the central portion of New York State, east of Syracuse, and west of Albany. Oneida Lake is on the northwestern corner of the county, and the Adirondack Park is on the northeast. Part of the Tug Hill Plateau is in the northern part of the county. Interestingly, Oneida County’s highest point does not lie on either the plateau nor in the Adirondack Park, but in the county’s southern extremity. The peak’s name is Tassel Hill. It is located slightly southeast of Hardscrabble Road (Tassel Hill Road), between the villages of Waterville and Cassville.

Traffic Counts in Long Lake

|

I was quite surprised how relative little traffic goes through the village of Long Lake. While sometimes busy in the summer months, the AADT of traffic going north through the village to Tupper Lake is a paltry 579 cars per day (or an average of one car passing every 2 1/2 minutes), although heading east on NY 28N towards Newcomb and Thruway, it's 1684 AADT or roughly one car per minute. Probably daytime traffic is much higher then nighttime traffic, although it looks the DOT hasn't done a time of day study.

Marshlands

Such an amazing swamp, really close to all the awful urban noise and congestion of downtown Utica.
