Just outside the city limits, Rensselaer County offers agriculture, rural entrepreneurship, and a forever wild appeal with beautiful recreational waters, trails, and vistas that imprint in one’s mind for a lifetime. The Tomhannock Reservoir provides excellent drinking water to over 125,000 people and is one the county’s most valued natural resources.
