Oneida County, NY 📍

Oneida County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 234,878. The county seat is Utica. The name is in honor of the Oneida, an Iroquoian tribe that lives in the region.

Oneida County is in the central portion of New York State, east of Syracuse, and west of Albany. Oneida Lake is on the northwestern corner of the county, and the Adirondack Park is on the northeast. Part of the Tug Hill Plateau is in the northern part of the county. Interestingly, Oneida County’s highest point does not lie on either the plateau nor in the Adirondack Park, but in the county’s southern extremity. The peak’s name is Tassel Hill. It is located slightly southeast of Hardscrabble Road (Tassel Hill Road), between the villages of Waterville and Cassville.

Long Lake

|

The Long Lake located in the central Adirondacks of New York is a natural lake. Geologically speaking, it is not a standalone basin, but rather a 14-mile-long glacial widening of the Raquette River. It flows along a natural, northeast-trending fault line that was scoured and widened by the Laurentide Glacier approximately 14,800 years ago. Because it is essentially a highly enlarged, slow-moving section of the river, it remains relatively shallow despite being surrounded by high mountain peaks.
