About Hamilton County Fair

The Hamilton County Fair in Lake Pleasant celebrates New York's least populous county — a vast Adirondack wilderness county with more moose than people, where the headwaters of the Hudson, Mohawk, and Black rivers rise from the high peaks and the county's few thousand year-round residents maintain one of the most remote communities east of the Mississippi River.

What to Expect

Expect a small Adirondack fair with community exhibits, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the genuine wilderness spirit of a county that is over 90% protected public forest.

Visitor Tips

Lake Pleasant is the tiny county seat accessible by a scenic Adirondack highway. Hamilton County's Adirondack Park wilderness, the Piseco Lake recreation area, and the spectacular Sacandaga River headwaters define a county of extraordinary wild character accessible from the Southern Adirondacks.
