Welcome to the Adirondacks

Discovery

Upstate New York has one of the greatest natural resources remaining in the USA, one of the largest tracts of unmolested, primitive land. The Adirondack Park is 6 million acres of virtually uninterrupted wilderness. In this magnificent park you can find trees that have survived 100’s of years and lakes that have never had motor boats driven over them. You can discover creatures you never knew existed (what’s a Martin?) You can walk paths made by deer traveling to water spots. You can spot birds of prey zeroing in on some food. You can discover things about New York State you never even knew existed.
Adventure

So much of the Adirondack Park remains in a wilderness state, which means unending possibilities for adventure and excitement. Imagine discovering a small lake at the end of a quiet path through the woods, where it seems nobody has set foot for a very long time. For a weekend, chances are, it might be all yours, visited only by you or you and your friends. There are that many miles of wilderness!
Or imagine testing your skills on the trails with a map and a hiking buddy, climbing to the top of one of the High Peaks. Sleeping in a tent on a spot where perhaps no human has ever ventured. Listening to the sounds of the forest, experiencing the complete darkness only a deep forest can create. Its all possible in the Adirondacks

If thrills are your game, how about hurtling across the rapids of a raging river in a raft, relying on split-second reaction times and pure adrenaline to finish your course. White water rafting is everywhere in the Adirondacks, with outfitting companies and rafting guides eager to lead you down the river over rapids and through swift streams.

Put your grit to the test by cycling the Adirondacks. Experience nature up close at a faster pace by cycling from Inn to Inn. Bed & Breakfasts abound in the Adirondacks, creating oases of luxury for you after an exhilarating day of cycling. Put the miles behind you as you whiz down the road toward your destination, stopping whenever you desire for a picture, and snack, or look around. Enjoy the freedom of the road and the satisfaction of a truly great adventure while cycling in one of North America’s greatest wilderness parks.

Picture yourself pulling a record-breaking fish out of the water! The lakes of the Adirondacks are home to all sorts of underwater creatures, not to mention the largest Northern Pike ever caught, right in Sacandaga Lake. That’s world record-breaking Pike!! .
