Adirondack Park

This park is absolutely MASSIVE and is home to some of the most rugged, untouched, and beautiful nature on the East Coast.

Adirondack Park completely blew me away. The views from some of the overlooks were just incredible, especially around Lake Placid and the High Peaks region. What I loved most was how peaceful it felt, even with how popular the park is. The air is so fresh, and the sound of the wind through the trees makes it easy to just relax and forget about everything else. I did a few hikes that were a bit challenging, but the views made every step worth it. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer and explore more every time you go. I’m already planning to come back.

Although it is called a park, it is not a national park or a state park, it is a forest protection reserve. Part of it owned by state of New York, part owned by private citizen, no fee and entrance into it. The park has beautiful body of water, color changing mountains and many villages inside, high way 87 passing through the park, driving during fall is amazing road trip, seeing the wonderful foliage, town of lake George is vacation destination with many activities in the summer

Need to go biking here sometime or water rafting. That environment is healing. No prison or jail. No suicide hotlines. An innocent free man enjoying himself in peace and tranquility; without being harassed. Definitely getting a brand newly built modern stone and log cabin in the Adirondacks in that geographical location with some serious acres. Come back home to a newly built PC gaming room a fireplace and computer with some AAAA kiefy weed, no NYS medical card, straight up recreational all to myself. Type of vibes. Not in an renovated apartment lifestyle, I need the real deal mountain life. Big escape from this Watertown, NY region. It's a big trap.

Beautiful scenery in the largest contiguous forest east of the Mississippi. Many clear water lakes within and include the 2 voted most beautiful in USA, Lake George and Lake Placid. Over 40 peaks over 4,000 in elevation most of that is vertical as the base is not too high above sea level.

Know before you go! Try to decide what you and / or your group want to do before driving into the park. If possible, have reservations in hand to save time and confusion. Summer is the busiest time of year. My personal choice times to visit are spring and autumn. My favorite four activities are 1) slow gentle hikes to look for wild flowers and tree flowers or fruit; 2) visiting historic sites; 3) shopping at the outlets and 4) leisurely boat rides.

One of the most beautiful places on earth, and no don’t expect there to be facilities everywhere in a park that has millions of acres, place is wild and hopefully always will be, remember Leave No Trace always!
