USA Today had a piece listing "10 great places on Earth you don't want to miss." They were chosen by Holly Hughes, author of Frommer's 500 Places to See Before They Disappear.
The third place listed:
Adirondack State Park
Upper New York state
Established in 1892, this 6 million-acre park encompasses more than 3,000 lakes and ponds connected by 1,500 miles of waterways. "The effects of acid rain, encroaching development and harmful invasive species are taking a toll here," Hughes says. "But much of the park's heart has been kept inaccessible to vehicles, preserving a slice of wilderness. The best way to appreciate it is to canoe through its quiet rivers and forested lakes. You'll see white-tailed deer, beaver, and, if you're lucky, you may spy a red fox or even a moose." 518-846-8016; adirondacks.org
