Sharon and I have visited the Adirondack region on numerous occasions, and each subsequent trip was better than the previous trip. We discovered kayaking in the Adirondacks, which led to our mothership kayaking adventure in Alaska. Kayaking will be part of our full-time cruising plans on board M/V Big Run.
The Adirondack Park exists because of the efforts by early conservationists when this country was still in the industrial revolution. Commercialization of the land within the park should be halted. Private lands within the park boundaries should be purchased when they become available to ensure the park's survival. Accessibility (motor vehicles) directly to lakes and remote areas should be kept at a minimum, reduced or stopped, as this type of development would increase pressure for additional services by those individuals that only care about their personal comfort . The park must be "protected" from exploitation by those who have no respect for what we have inherited. Wilderness and remote areas need to be protected to maintain the ecological balance. The vision of those early pioneers must never be lost.
If you have the opportunity to visit the Adirondacks, do your research and enjoy one of the Northeast's great outdoor experiences. Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.
