Herkimer County
Eagle Bay, McKeever, Old Forge and Thendara are in the recreation paradise of Herkimer County, including the Fulton Chain of Lakes and the remote Stillwater Reservoir in the Pepperbox Wilderness.
Stretching from the Adirondack Mountains in the north to the Erie Canal and Mohawk Valley in the south, Herkimer County offers a multitude of diverse attractions, historic sites and a wide range of recreational activities your whole family will enjoy. The 153-mile Central Adirondack Trail forms the shape of a crescent, originating in the fertile lowland areas surrounding the cities of Glens Falls and Rome, and winding through the south-central portion of the Adirondack Park. The Hudson River on the eastern end and the Erie Canal on the west are the gateways to many scenic lakes and mountain streams that are the distinguishing geographic features along much of this scenic byway.
