The Adirondacks: Come to Play in Nature's Wonderland!

The Adirondack region consists of over 6 million acres in upstate New York, diverging also into Vermont. The mountain area is interwoven with the Adirondack Park. The park is a mixture of public and private lands, and includes wilderness areas, ski resorts, lakes, rivers, streams, remote towns, and scenic pasturelands. This area is an outdoor enthusiast's dream come true! A renter’s itinerary can include hiking, camping, canoeing, skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, bicycling, scuba diving, orienteering, and countless other recreational endeavors.

Probably the most famous region of the Adirondacks is the area around Lake Placid. One of only three cities to hold the winter Olympic Games twice, Lake Placid is a year-round resort offering activities ranging from skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling in the winter, to hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and even windsurfing on nearby Lake Placid or Mirror Lake in summer. Lake George, at the southeastern entrance to Adirondack Park, is the largest lake completely within the park boundaries. The 32-mile long lake is dotted with 365 small islands, and is a great spot for tossing in a line.

With over 2,000 miles of trails, the Adirondacks are a hiker's paradise. Trails range from 1-mile day-hikes, to week-long (or longer!) trails covering rugged terrain. With 100+ miles of navigable routes, canoeing is another major pastime in the Adirondacks. In the winter, snowmobiling and skiing are popular pursuits.

Whether your notion of a vacation is casting in a line, parasailing across a glittering lake, hiking a trail that leads to a spectacular mountain view, or skiing in the tracks of famous Olympians, the Adirondacks are the place to be for an active vacation. Historical sights, docile pastures, trickling streams, and 400-foot-deep lakes are all part of the Adirondack landscape.
