Five Star Hotels on the Water in the New York Adirondacks

The Adirondack region of New York offers thousands of miles of hiking and cycling trails along with numerous lakes for fishing, swimming and boating. The Adirondacks cover 6 million acres of mixed public and private land and are home to thousands of people. The park was established as the Adirondack Forest Preserve in 1885 when an act by the New York State Legislature attempted to stop the widespread clear-cutting of the landscape. Now a nature reserve unlike anywhere else is one of New York's most visited landscapes.
