Experience Our Adirondacks

Experience Our Adirondacks Hamilton County, where small towns meet big outdoor adventures in the heart of the Adirondacks

Hamilton County, the Adirondack Wild, is located in the center of the 6-million-acre Adirondack State Park in northern New York. The county holds the honor of being the least populated in the eastern United States, with less than 5,000 full-time residents. Camping in the backcountry, hiking, and most public boat launches are free. There is never a charge for enjoying the ever-changing panorama of mountains, lakes and deep green forests.
