 In 1892,
The Adirondack Park was created primarily due to concerns for
the water and timber resources of
the region. In 2008, the Park is the largest publicly protected
area here in the lower 48 states. The Adirondack Park
is greater in size than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier, and Grand Canyon National
Park combined. Of the park's constitutionally protected 6
million acres, 3,000 lakes, 30,000 miles of rivers and
streams, nearly half of this belongs to all the people of
New York State. What's left, is privately owned land
comprised of recreational areas, farms, businesses, homes
and camps.
The Adirondack Forest Preserve was created by an act of the
Legislature in 1885 which states, “The lands now or
hereafter constituting the Forest Preserve shall be forever
kept as wild forest lands. They shall not be sold, nor shall
they be leased or taken by any person or corporation, public
or private.” Over 100,000 people live within the boundaries
of the park in it's 105 towns and villages.
