Warren County
Warren County
Warren County is in the southeastern Adirondacks, anchored by Lake George (county seat) and Glens Falls (largest city). The economy mixes Lake George tourism (Six Flags Great Escape, Lake George Steamboat Co., Million Dollar Beach), Gore Mountain skiing, healthcare (Glens Falls Hospital), Finch Paper / paper-products manufacturing, and a robust second-home / STR market across Lake George and Bolton Landing. The County Clerk operates from 1340 State Route 9.
