Hamilton County is one of only two that lie entirely within the Adirondack Park. With a population concentration of just over 3 people to a square mile, it is the least densely populated area east of the Mississippi River. The 2010 US Census lists fewer than 5,000 year-round residents, while the summer population is estimated at around 25,000. So rural in nature, the County claims not one permanent stop light nor a single fast food outlet.
Its natural setting, the principle attraction for both seasonal and year-round residents, influences life in Hamilton County. It is ruggedly beautiful, very quiet and virtually crime free. About 65% of the land is state forest preserve that is constitutionally protected as “forever wild”. If an over abundance of lakes, rivers, pristine forests, wildlife, clean air and clean water are what you are looking for, then you will find it in Hamilton County.
So if you want to live or vacation in the purest natural environment in the Eastern United states, we can help you find that special house or camp.
