St. Lawrence County ... is a place that is rugged and wild yet cosmopolitan and "home" to people from all over the globe. We have a long heritage that is tied to agriculture, forestry, mining, and education. Diversity is the best word to describe both the natural and social resources that New York's north country has to offer.   The St. Lawrence River, it's river valley, and the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains define the landscapes. This area is large enough to be included in two of New York State's 11 Regions. While offering some of the most remote wilderness in the Eastern United States, visitors are only a hour away from two of the World's most popular cities; Montreal and Ottawa.   The common thread weaving the county together is water. Nearly every community is set along one of the many small rivers that drain the Adirondack Mountains. The educational and governmental heart lies in the center of the county, dairy farms are sprinkled throughout the county, and the southern portion of the county is the gateway to the 6 million acre Adirondack Park.   St. Lawrence County truly does have something for everyone. The area has attracted visitors from all walks of life and many never leave. A high ratio of "transplants" found the North County and help make it a great place to visit and a better place to live.   Many residents are eager to share their love and knowledge of the area. Hosts/Guides for nearly every interest are available as volunteers   Images of the Old West can be found at the Frederick Remington Museum or Buffalo grazing at a unique lodge and farm. Local farms welcome visitors on the many "Agri-Tours" listed in the outdoors section of the guide. Our Amish and Mohawk citizens also invite you to explore their cultures and visit their shops and museums. Naturally Fun for 200 Years, the county celebrated its incorporation during 2002. Travelers used to bring the trunks and stay for months.  Why not do the same now?
