The
North Country describes the extreme northern
frontier of the American state of New York, bordering
Lake Ontario, the Saint Lawrence River (across from
the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec), Vermont,
and the Adirondack Mountains. Generally speaking, the
North Country is understood to be that portion of Upstate
New York which lies outside the Adirondack Park and
consists of mostly level lands or Adirondack foothills,
but is not within the Adirondack range itself. The region
is the most sparsely populated, but also one of the
geographically largest, in New York State.
The North Country Trail,
more formally the "North Country National Scenic
Trail," is a 4,000-mile long-distance trail being
developed that begins near Lake Champlain in New York
State, and traverses New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota.
