Introduction to The Adirondack Park
The best thing about upstate New York is its forests, rivers, lakes, and mountains, and no neighboring landscape holds a candle to the vast, green Adirondack Park, a large tract of publicly protected land that is by far the biggest park in the country (larger, they say, than Yellowstone, Glacier, the Everglades, and Grand Canyon National Park combined). Created in 1892 due to an evironmental concern for its trees and waterways, the Adirondacks are now an interesting mix of various levels of wilderness: some land is private, some towns are the size of hamlets and some are much larger, some land is well-trekked and covered in beautiful trails and picnic spots, and some is almost untouched, miles from any trace of human civilization. People who like the outdoors will love this huge, wooded, alpine wonderland of white birch, deep lakes, pounding waterfalls, pine forests, and countless trails up bald-faced mountains covered in blueberries, with heady views rolling into the distance.
