| Adirondack Region |
|
Our Lake Placid gallery is located in the heart of the “Adirondack Park”. In 1884, New York State created the Adirondack Forest Preserve by setting aside several hundred thousand non-contiguous acres of its land to be “forever kept as wild forest lands”. Later, in 1892, the State took its map and drew a blue line around the Adirondack Mountains and the Preserve lands, formally naming the territory the Adirondack Park. The Park became permanent in 1894 when the State passed a constitutional amendment protecting it.
Today, the Park covers approximately 6.1 million acres and is a mosaic of both public and private land. Rich in history and culture, stunning in its beauty, and replete with opportunities for adventure and recreation, the Park is an exciting place to live and visit.
46 mountains over 4000 feet tall provide endless opportunities to hike and ski. The Park contains 2600 lakes and ponds and 1800 miles of river, creating a paradise for water enthusiasts. The Park is also a habitat and sanctuary for many species of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, black bears, bald eagles and peregrines.
The most popular areas of the Park include: Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Lake Champlain, Lake George, The Northwestern Lakes, The High Peaks Region and Whiteface Mountain. |

| Finger Lakes Region |
|
In the west-central section of Upstate New York lay the eleven Finger Lakes, the seven largest of which resemble each other in shape and collectively reminded early map-makers of the fingers on a hand. The Finger Lakes Region is known for its unique geological features and unparalleled natural beauty.
Many residents and travelers to the Finger Lakes are attracted to the lifestyle. The lakes surround small towns that are weaved together by country roads and take pride in the simplicity of travel. The Finger Lakes are close enough to major cities Rochester and Syracuse to enjoy big city events, but far enough away to enjoy grape festivals, wine tasting, trail rides and other “small town feel” activities.
The Finger Lakes are a beautiful place to soak up the beauty of the outdoors and the serenity to find oneself. |

| High Peaks Region |
|
The High Peaks Region of the Adirondacks is so named because all the Adirondack peaks over 4000 feet in elevation, along with many other lower mountains are located here. There are miles of maintained hiking trails, hundreds of ponds and streams for fishing and boating, and enough roadside crags and hidden cliffs to keep any climber occupied for a lifetime.
The High Peaks is the most popular part of the Adirondack Park for climbers, hikers, and back country skiers because the variety, quality, and accessibility of the trails are truly world class. |
