Benson is the first town you come to past Northville in Hamilton County, off of NY Route 30, our main road. It is a small town with just one main road besides part of 30, Benson Road. It is very hilly woodsy and charming. It boasts Lapland Lakes Cross Country Ski Center as well as the true start of the Northville Lake Placid Hiking Trail. It is 83.2 square miles large but less than 200 full time residents. It has a couple of lakes, Silver and Woods Lake. But only Wood Lake is easily accessible.
Hope is the next town north of Benson where Route 30 hugs the Sacandaga River. Hope is approximately 41 square miles large with a full time population of less than 400. Besides Sacandaga River, there is also Stony Creek, Middle and Murphy Lakes and Hope Falls, so there is no shortage of water there.
