The Adirondack Park encompasses approximately 6 million acres, which is more area than the Grand Canyon, Glacier Nation Park, the Everglades, and Yellowstone National Parks combined. The Adirondack State Park was originally created by the State of New York in 1892 to protect timber resources, and to this date nearly half of the 6 million acres is forever wild.

The Adirondack Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream come true. Within the “Blue Line” (the park boundary as it’s called), there are countless things to do and see in all four seasons. There are over 3000 lakes with over 30,000 miles of rivers and streams feeding them which makes hitting the water with your canoe, kayak, or rod and reel even easier. With the largest trail system at over 2000 miles of trails, hiking to your favorite hiding spot, waterfall, lean-to, or mountain summit is just off the paved roads (or dirt).
The Adirondack Park is most known for its mountains, more notably the 46 High Peaks. People from all around the country travel to the High Peaks to hike them and become an Adirondack 46er. Click here to find out more information on the Adirondack High Peaks.
The Adirondacks are one of the best places to visit, no matter what your age is. There are some rules and regulations that everyone has to abide by, so make sure you check out our rules and regulations page.
