The Adirondacks:
The Adirondack region is descriptive of the mountainous region of northern New York State bordered by Lakes Champlain and Ontario on the east and west, and by the St. Lawrence and Mohawk River valleys to the north and south. The region's history is as rich and diverse as its landscape is unique and varied. The Adirondack Mountain region has over 40 peaks higher than 4,000 feet in elevation. There are over 2,500 lakes, ponds and rivers that historically have provided important transportation routes through the region. The Adirondack Park boundary is represented by the light blue line around the Adirondack Mountains map.
The Adirondack Park was created in 1882 by the New York State Legislature, which enacted measures that guarantee public lands will remain forever wild. The Park itself is the size of the state of Vermont, with a structure unlike any other state or national park in the nation: it is a patchwork of public and private lands. There are expansive blocks of backcountry interspersed with private homes, villages and tracts of corporate forest lands under active management. In the Adirondacks, it is possible to hike to an isolated waterfall in the afternoon, then spend the evening strolling Main Street.
Blue Line:
Within the "Blue Lin`e," as the park boundary is called, more than 40 state-operated campgrounds, 2,000 miles of hiking trails, hundreds of miles of canoe routes and 42 peaks over 4,000 feet in height entice travelers from all over the world. During the winter, visitors enjoy Alpine and Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, skating, dog sledding and relaxing in front of gigantic stone fireplaces.
