Adirondack State Park in Winter

This park is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous U.S., greater in size than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier, and Grand Canyon National Park combined.

The six-million-acre Adirondack State Park draws visitors from all over the world no matter what the season.


In winter, this huge park becomes a snow covered playground, offering as many activities as in the summer - maybe more! You can go skiing, ice skating, ice climbing, winter camping, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, tubing, sledding, snowmobiling, snowboarding, hiking, and more! The scenery is fantastic, so you can add winter photography to this list as well.

And with the mix of 100 or so towns, cities and villages located within the 6-million-acre Adirondacks Park, cultural opportunities, historically significant sites, family-friendly attractions and unique dining and lodging options abound like you will find in no other park. There are also numerous winter festival and carnivals to enjoy. 
 

Most of the Adirondack Park's hiking trails are pet-friendly unless specifically posted with a no-dogs sign. Dogs need to be on a leash and dog clean-up bags are located at posts along many trails.
 
 
NOTE: When the Adirondack Park was created in 1892 by the State of New York - this diverse mountain landscape was a wild place but it wasn't until 1894 that the Adirondack Forest Preserve was established and recognized as a constitutionally protected Forever Wild area. Of the Adirondack Park's 6 million acres, 2.6 million acres are owned by New York State and the remaining 3.4 million acres are privately owned.
