A Few Facts About The Adirondack Park

The Adirondack Park was created in 1892. The Park originally encompassed seven counties, outlined on a map with a blue line that has come to signify the Park border. Today, all or parts of twelve counties are included in the region, which represents one fifth of the land mass of New York State.

The Park is six million acres in size, of which 2.3 million acres (38%) are state owned Forest Preserve lands belonging to all the people of New York State. The remaining 3.7 million acres (62%) are private lands, devoted principally to forestry, agriculture and open-space recreation.

Available land in the last Northeastern frontier is rapidly vanishing. The Adirondack Park is 6,000,000 acres of public and private lands protected by stringent state regulations, known as the (APA) Adirondack Park Agency. The amount of available land for purchase is becoming scarcer every year and the New York State regulations are continually increasing the restrictions on privately owned land in the Park.

Purchase your land in the Park while it’s still possible to do so.
