Situated along the southeastern banks of the Mahopac River in the heart of southern New York’s Hudson Valley is the adorable community of Mahopac. Mahopac is designated a hamlet as part of the Town of Carmel, where it serves as the seat of Carmel Town Hall, in Putnam County. The estimated population of Mahopac is around 9,500 people.

Lake Mahopac was once an important summer resort area, which is easily understandable granted the rich scenery enveloping the community. Visitors and residents take great delight to pretty much do any outdoor activity they want. For aquatic recreation there is Lake Mahopac’s calm waters, on top of Croton Falls Reservoir, Lake Gleneida, West Branch Reservoir, Titicus Reservoir, and of course, the mighty Hudson River. For some great camping, hiking, cross country skiing, and mountain biking, a short drive away will find you in the vast wilderness of Bear Mountain State Park, Blue Mountain Reservation, Franklin Roosevelt Park, Harriman State Park, and Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park.

A great source of community pride is derived from Mahopac’s excellent school system, which consistently exceed the state’s academic standards. Other Mahopac attractions include such historic meeting places like Mahopac Olympic Diner and downtown Mahopac where you can relax, meet a friend, and engross yourself in enlightening conversations.
