Fog Reveals Different Side of Hamlin Lake Park
December 28, 2008
Fog rolled into Smethport on Saturday, as it did through much of the region. Mild, moist air clung over Hamlin Lake until mid-afternoon, cloaking the park in a white cloud that allowed only the barest glimpse of features taken for granted on a clear day. Within the misty shroud, time seemed to stand still. The sound of rushing water, muted. Befuddled geese and ducks on the water’s edge had not much to say. Enjoy the view.




Smethport is adjacent to 2 million acres of public land that is home to the largest elk herd in the eastern U.S., pockets of white-tailed deer, 15,000 black bear, as well as an abundance of turkeys, pheasants, grouse, waterfowl and other small game. Come and enjoy hiking, biking, canoeing and kayaking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ATVing, horseback riding, hunting, fishing and more.
