Carmel Hamlet is compact and walkable around the village center (courthouse, small shops, restaurants and the Reed Memorial Library). Lake Gleneida and nearby Lake Carmel provide green, water-front walking and birdwatching opportunities. The hamlet is the county seat so you’ll see local government offices, historic stone courthouse buildings and community events.
