The Adirondack Park. Encompassing one-fifth of the total land area of New York State, the Adirondack Park is unique in the United States as America's largest state park. Within its six million acres are vast forests and rolling farmlands, hamlets and villages, mountains and valleys, lakes, ponds and free- flowing rivers, private lands and public forest. Almost three million acres are "forever wild” forest preserve, protected from development and available for free hiking, hunting and many other outdoor pursuits.
The Adirondacks are known for their extensive wild landscapes, which include tracts of old-growth forest. Wildflowers abound, and hundreds of species of shrubs, herbs and grasses may be encountered in a day's outing. Native wildlife is also easily viewed along foot trails extending over 2,000 miles throughout the park, most maintained by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with the help of volunteer efforts. Trailheads leading to rugged mountains, towering forests and hundreds of lakes and ponds dot the public highway system.
Outdoor recreation opportunities are unparalleled in the Adirondack area. Visitors to campgrounds both public and private can sample boating, horseback riding, picnicking, hiking, mountaineering, hunting, fishing, swimming, water skiing, scuba diving and nature photography. Some campgrounds have extended the season into the fall for fishing, hunting and leaf peeping.
From the southwest corner of the park ar Old Forge, a popular canoe route begins and follows a string of lakes, ponds, rivers and portages nearly 100 miles to Tupper Lake and the Saranac lakes in the north- central region. The region also boasts whitewater rafting amid some of the nation's most beautiful scenery. A drive along the Adirondacks' fourteen New York State Scenic Byways brings visitors to off-the-beaten-track attractions, charming hotels, and historic sites. For a real getaway, consider the 500 summer campsites spread over 48 islands on Lake George, Indian Lake and Saranac Lake.
The Adirondacks are rich in history with museums, forts and antique shops scattered throughout the park. Other attractions of the region include family amusement and water parks, and scenic boat and rail excursions. .
