In a quiet corner of New York's Adirondack Region,
the unspoiled America of an earlier age awaits the traveler willing to
stray a little from the beaten path. The Lewis County landscape, hills,
valleys, rivers, and lakes are the perfect relaxation setting for
visitors and residents alike.
Ours is the land of the great outdoors. We have
something for everyone: scenic nature settings, fishing, camping,
hunting, bicycling, backpacking and hiking, ATV riding, skiing,
snowmobiling, and much, much more. Lewis County offers solace from the
hectic pace of the surrounding world.
Halfway between the St. Lawrence River and the New
York State Thruway, Lewis County is bordered on the west by the Tug
Hill Plateau and on the east by the Adirondack Mountains. It is a land
of prosperous dairy farms, quiet woodlands, clear streams and lakes,
and clean air. It is a place where friendly, honest people go about
their business with a cheerful word for the passing stranger.
Lewis County still maintains the spirit of the
early settlers. Many of their original dwellings still stand, and our
people proudly remain close to our past. For more on historic sites in
