Hamilton County - small towns, big outdoors
Hamilton County offers the classic Adirondack experience, attracting nature lovers for well over a century. In the heart of the Adirondacks, this region is many things: a historical gem, a sportsman’s paradise, and a vacation destination for its tranquil woods and small towns. We call it home.
With more one million acres of undisturbed woods, majestic mountains, cascading waterfalls, and pristine lakes all around us, we're big on outdoor experiences in every season. Hamilton County is especially rich with lakes and myriad waterways, making it the ideal destination for enjoying time on the water. Adventurous travelers can enjoy whitewater rafting, snowmobiling miles of uninterrupted trails, and hiking to fire towers and waterfalls. The more casual travelers can enjoy camping in tracts of uninterrupted forest and birding in diverse habitats. Travelers can also take a step back in time to explore Adirondack history in the birthplace of the American vacation. During the Gilded Age, Hamilton County was a major destination for the wealthiest travelers, who left behind W.W. Durant’s landmark Adirondack architecture and the Great Camps.
Intertwined with the outdoors are unique, historic towns rich with eccentric events and warm hospitality reflected in timeless general stores and quaint downtowns. Each season brings festivals, when we celebrate everything from Adirondack art, to wildlife, to winter.
Big on outdoors and small town charm, we invite you to Hamilton County to “Experience Our Adirondacks.”
Branding guidelines
Through the implementation of the new brand, the goal is to create a unique image in the minds of our travelers and ultimately help differentiate Hamilton County from other destinations. As part of this implementation process, businesses and organizations are encouraged to use the brand mark to promote their establishment as part of the overarching Hamilton County brand. However, to maintain a strong and effective identity means that the brand elements must be presented in a consistent manner.
