Adirondack Mountains
6 Million acres of Wilderness, Mountains, Lakes, and Beauty
- "...the lands now or hereafter constituting the forest preserve shall be kept as forever wild lands..."
Adirondack Mountains History:
- The Adirondack Forest Preserve was created with these words from the New York State Legislature in 1885. Less than a decade later, the Adirondacks became the first constitutionally protected wilderness land preserve in the United States when New York's voters approved the "forever wild" clause, into the state Constitution.
- Today the stunningly beautiful Adirondack Park is comprised of 6 million acres, an area larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Great Smoky, and Everglades National Parks combined. The Adirondack Park and Forest Preserve is the largest park in the United States outside of Alaska.
- On my numerous trips to national parks and wilderness areas all over
the country, I have never found a park with more beauty, accessibility,
and a combination green forests, crystal clear lakes, and jagged
mountains. On this page I have included links to some of my favorite
Adirondacks sites along with photos of
the Adirondack Mountains from my own excursions to this great
wilderness. Happy hiking...
