That is the NY that most people don't really think of, I visited the Adirondacks a few years ago, my first time in NY and I got to see it's wild and rugged side, very incredible landscape, beautiful forests of pine, hemlock, maple, and birch, clear lakes, swift moving streams and rivers that cascade from the alpine highlands to the lakes and valleys below, epic views from the mountain tops, and in areas with the granite cliffs, some of the scenery is reminiscent of Yosemite, beautiful place to visit
I saw this ad on a video game channel. It's the only 3 minute ad I've ever watched. I came back to see where the original came from. I liked the production that went into this. Well done.
Been enjoying the Adirondacks for years and with so many trails ,waterfalls ,and high peaks that I still haven't been to yet, I know I will enjoy this place for years to come
Wow, that's epic, as the kids say. Very Lord of the Rings-esque. I'm from Saranac Lake, living in MA--nice to see my home town briefly, with a great view of Lake Flower! I miss the 'dacks.
It really is quite massive. I've spent countless hours in the park and I can truthfully say I haven't seen a fraction of what there is to see. But what I have seen was amazing. The most relaxing time of your life will be in this area. Hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, rafting, kayaking, or all at once! Truly magnificent.
Great video. I'm always upstate. Adirondacks rock. Glad they preserve this land. But only thing is, Adirondacks is more than only four hours out of the city lol.
The Adirondacks are beauitful. The Hiking was awesome and the fishing was fantastic. Theres so much to see and do but i definently recommend seeing Lake Placid and Lake George. Skiing at Gore is great. And there are so many great resorts to stay at. And if your coming from down south i would stop in Albany, its a really fun city
Go a little North, there is a town called Malone, it is about 15 miles from the Quebec border. Stop in at the IBC, it is a outdoor clothing and footwear store.
With the US and Canada with all the pristine beauty it has to offer that you could not see it all in one life time! Why you would spend the extra money to travel outside of the country when we have beauty like this Take the savings for better lodging and longer stays ⛺🍳🍰🍾🍷🍻
The Adirondacks are truly an awesome place. 17 high-peaks down, 29 to go. I love introducing Boy Scouts to their first trip to this 6-million acre playground.
We used to go camping up there all the time, we'd rent a cabin by Indian Lake and then head over to the park for some serious hiking. I read somewhere once that these are some of the oldest forests in the world...
It's even better in person! #FlyTheWhale can have you off the water in midtown Manhattan & up into the #Adirondacks in just over 1 hour. I promise it will be one of the most scenic flights that you have ever been on.
Hi keithadk, Thank you for your input. We use the overall acreage for the park, which is inclusive of all property within the 'blue line.' We hope this helps and thank you for watching the videos. Enjoy the Adirondacks this summer!
I am going to retire there someday and live out the rest of my life hiking and kayaking the ADK! Climbed Giant and Mt. Marcy this summer and have plans to become a 46er someday :) Great video!
Adam Lamphere You and me both 9 years to go and that’s where I’ll be I was bit by the mountain bug in 1999 and my wife and ride up every year on the bike for a week
I keep wanting to go, but it takes me 4 hours just to get to hiking spots in the Catskills, and you can do 10 - 15 miles there without hitting a road, so it's seemed pretty pointless to go further. I am from NY and am still realizing how big it is and how many parks / woods / mountains there are. Just found out we have a mountain range called the Marlboros, for example.
It is real, indeed! The Adirondack Park was created in 1892 by the State of New York. We invite you to learn more about the park on our website visitadirondacksDOTcom under "About the Adirondacks." Thanks for watching!
I went Bear hunting in the Adirondacks in 2003 with an old friend of mine was sitting on a canoe and still water reservoir loomed started to sing in that moment I was bitten by the Adirondack bug gone up twice a year every year since then here it is 2021 my wife and I are now looking for property to Build our retirement home up there I can’t wait
Just for some perspective, if the video were to depict 100 acres per second and endeavored to show the whole park - all 6 million acres - the video would have to be 17 hours long. But thx for these highlights of mostly popular places.
"We use the overall acreage for the park, which is inclusive of all property within the 'blue line.' " I can see that, but why not tell the truth? Oh and I enjoy the Adirondacks all year round, because I live here.
The APA (Adirondack Park Agency) controls the largest zoning area in the world. You might think you own your land, but if you are in the Blue Line, that's a no. I'm not complaining. Just saying.
Hi RDJim, The Adirondack Regional Tourism Council commissioned this video through Adworkshop, Lake Placid NY. For more info about them, please visit Adworkshop dot c o m. Thank you for your interest!
Nice video. Too bad it within the first 20 seconds makes an inaccurate statement. There are not 6 million acres of wilderness, only 1,138,423 acres (APA 2011 figures). In fact approximately half of the park is privately owned. I love NY constantly makes these kinds of blatantly wrong statements to bolster the product. Really sad since the park as so much to offer and over selling it is really not necessary.
Adirondacks are beautiful but not breathtaking like the mountains out west. And just because it's bigger in terms of size of land, doesn't mean it's better than places like Yellowstone by a long shot.
I live in the adirondacks, on a small farm in an old historic country town with a population of about 250 people, I love where I live!

I wish this video was 10x longer

By far one of the most BEAUTIFUL places in the country!!!! When you get to lake placid,TAKE YOUR CAMERA !!!!
Wow, that's epic, as the kids say. Very Lord of the Rings-esque. I'm from Saranac Lake, living in MA--nice to see my home town briefly, with a great view of Lake Flower! I miss the 'dacks.
Been too many years since I have spent time in the Adirondacks; need to get back there.
Good stuff!
I live here and hike these mountains all the time! Its so cool to see them on a video like this!

cohen eisenrosenbergthalsteinweitzthalberger I did a frog
@@JC-sj2pd people from Albany and "the city" shouldn't even be allowed upstate.
We just visited the ADKS a few weeks ago and we loved our time there! We hiked Hurricane Mountain and it was awesome!!
Hey check out my channel! ADK vlogs :)
Thank you for imparting the wonder of the Adirondacks on the young scouts! Enjoy and best of luck finishing the rest of the 46ers!!

My home, awesome video. I live south now this was great to see. Thank you.
I was naming every mountain in this video, so cool to see an aerial view like this!
Check out my vlog. Can you name the mountains? :) th-cam.com/video/I2yDRnWKvr0/w-d-xo.html
Lovely video. I want to go home to "my" mountains so badly.
this is great thank you shame its so short

Thanks for sharing! What is your favorite activity while in the 'dacks?
Gorgeous!
Wonderful!
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing!
Did NYS commission this video? Where can we find more information on the videographer and his work on this project?
Thank you Adam! Enjoy your retirement - whenever that may be for you!
*AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL*
*I💙NY*
Long Lake at 2:01
A woman in upstate NY couldn't have her personalized license plate re-newed because of complaints. It used to read, ADCK-LUVR.
Great video!
Thank you - we're glad you enjoyed the video. Have you ever visited the Adirondacks?
Visit Adirondacks the greatest place on earth we ride up every year on the bike with a group of friends I will retire there someday
My home...still my home..78 years
I went Bear hunting in the Adirondacks in 2003 with an old friend of mine was sitting on a canoe and still water reservoir loomed started to sing in that moment I was bitten by the Adirondack bug gone up twice a year every year since then here it is 2021 my wife and I are now looking for property to Build our retirement home up there I can’t wait

I can see that, but why not tell the truth?
Oh and I enjoy the Adirondacks all year round, because I live here.
The 10 people (8/2019) who dislike this are blind and don't like the soundtrack.
privately owned land in any state park is still protected by the government so it is still part of the park
The APA (Adirondack Park Agency) controls the largest zoning area in the world. You might think you own your land, but if you are in the Blue Line, that's a no. I'm not complaining. Just saying.
Can't stay away!!!!
Great video but that music has to go,very depressing music.
haha
Love the music
I really like the music.

Visit Adirondacks
Truly blessed with a beautiful country. Too bad evil people are trying to destroy it.
Protected by the government? Stricter zoning yes.
But it is not wilderness as stated in the video.
i live only 100 minutes away and still haven't been
Great video but the music was very depressing. GODACKS!
Omg I saw my house! XD I swear
