Adirondacks

The Adirondack Mountains offer a captivating blend of pristine wilderness, outdoor adventure, and rich cultural heritage. Spanning over six million acres, it is the largest protected natural area in the United States, drawing visitors from around the world to its breathtaking landscapes and diverse recreational opportunities.

Encompassing parts of northeastern New York, the Adirondack Park is a mosaic of forests, mountains, lakes, and rivers. Its rugged terrain includes over 46 high peaks towering above 4,000 feet, providing hikers and climbers with unparalleled challenges and stunning vistas. Among these peaks, Mount Marcy reigns as the tallest, offering a rewarding summit experience for those who brave its trails. Its numerous lakes and rivers provide opportunities for boating and swimming, while quaint towns offer a glimpse into the area’s rich history and culture. Better yet, there are no park fees to enter, no gates that close at night, just a boundless natural preserve and the promise of adventure.

The Adirondack Park is not only a haven for outdoor recreation but also a repository of rich cultural history and heritage. Native American tribes have called this land home for thousands of years, leaving behind traces of their ancient presence in the form of petroglyphs and archaeological sites. European settlers arrived in the 19th century, drawn by the region’s abundant natural resources and scenic beauty, and their legacy is preserved in historic towns, museums, and landmarks scattered throughout the area.
