About the Adirondack Park

Discover the 6 million acre national treasure in Upstate New York. Constitutionally protected as "Forever Wild", the Adirondack Park is a unique patchwork of private land and forest preserve. Home to hundreds of communities, and 10 million visitors each year, the Adirondack State Park is a gem of the Northeast.

The Adirondacks are the largest intact deciduous forest left on earth. Moose, common loons, bear, bobcat, and brook trout live here. As well as protected and endangered species such as the bicknell's thrush and the spruce grouse.

The Adirondacks include the headwaters of five major drainage basins. Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Black, St. Lawrence and Mohawk Rivers all draw water from the Adirondack Park. Adirondack forests and wetlands filter and provide clean water for communities as far as New York City! Within the Adirondack Park are more than 2,800 lakes and ponds, and more than 1,500 miles of rivers, fed by an estimated 30,000 miles of brooks and streams.
