Trails traverse most of the park and lead the hikers to the most spectacular overlooks and vistas. Steep grades and stream crossings are frequently encountered. Park visitors should plan to begin at the Visitor Center near the junction of South Boundary Road and Highway M-107. There you will find an exciting multi-media show, displays, maps and information, park products, and a Ranger to answer questions. Backpackers must register before entering the interior of the park.
Some backpack campsites with dry tent pads, a campfire ring and rustic toilets are available.
Pack out all non-combustible trash. No fires except where designated by the Park Manager and no fires whatsoever during high fire danger weather. Use a pack stove for cooking. All motorized methods of transportation are prohibited on park trails. The only facilities in Adirondack shelters are sleeping platforms, a table and benches.
