St. Lawrence County
St. Lawrence County includes the St. Lawrence River and the Adirondack Mountains in Northern New York.
The area is rich in history and features abundant outdoor recreation. The county has a tradition of agriculture and a reputation for excellence in education.

Regarding the Sullivan Road Recreation Area / Boat Launch
Effective immediately the Hollow Dam Project on the Sullivan Road has ceased operation and the Ampersand Company will not be renewing their lease. Ownership of the property at that location has reverted to the prior owners who will no longer offer any public access to the picnic area and the river. Should a new lease be acquired the owners will revisit the situation.
