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.

Watch Hill on Indian Lake

|

Watch Hill on Indian Lake is a popular, family-friendly foothill mountain located in the Jessup River Wild Forest near Sabael and the town of Indian Lake in the central Adirondacks of New York. It is highly regarded as a rewarding "short hike with big views," making it an excellent alternative to the much steeper, crowded trails nearby. The first section follows a flat, old logging road before converting into a footpath with a few brief, fun scrambles over steep rock lips. The trail features two distinct open rock faces near the top. The first gives a direct, striking view westward toward the massive Griffin Brook Slide on Snowy Mountain. Moving another tenth of a mile brings you to the second ledge, which opens up to views of the southern end of Indian Lake, John Mack Bay, and Squaw Mountain.

Summit Route: A 2.2-mile round trip with a modest 380-foot elevation gain to the peak's rocky ledges.

Lake Shore Route: A 3.2 to 3.7-mile out-and-back trip that includes a steep 480-foot drop from the summit down to a rocky beach on the western shore of Indian Lake.
