About
In the heart of New York lies a wealth of natural escapes that offer a refreshing contrast to the urban landscape. The sprawling Adirondack Park, with over 6 million acres of protected wilderness, invites outdoor enthusiasts to explore its 2,000 miles of hiking trails. Visitors can traverse the High Peaks region, where mountains like Mount Marcy rise to the occasion, providing breathtaking views for those who reach their summits. Nearby, the crystal-clear waters of Lake Placid provide opportunities for kayaking and swimming during the warmer months, while in winter, the area transforms into a hub for skiing and snowboarding.
