Adirondack Mountains Essentials

Spanning six million acres of northern New York, the Adirondack Park is defined by its 46 High Peaks and thousands of glacial lakes. This collection highlights the region's diverse landscapes, from the 4,867-foot summit of Whiteface Mountain to the remote shores of Avalanche Lake. Cultural landmarks include The Wild Center’s interactive natural history exhibits and the Olympic legacy of Lake Placid. Visitors can explore the Adirondack Experience museum at Blue Mountain Lake or traverse the Whiteface Mountain Veterans' Memorial Highway for panoramic views across the High Peaks Wilderness.
