Adirondack Park was established in 1894 in response to public concerns about the clearcutting of large areas of forest and the preservation of water resources. It is not a national park but is rather a collective of both publicly and privately owned lands, resulting in areas of undisturbed nature with small towns and villages scattered throughout. Rent a camper near Lewey Lake Campground, and you can explore the area at your leisure. You can drive through the preserve observing the stands of old-growth and second-generation spruce, hemlock, beech, and pine forest. You may, if you're lucky, spot some of the resident wildlife, such as moose, black bear, red and gray fox, bobcats, and many others.

Lewey Lake Campground has several hundred campsites for you to choose from and picnic areas with tables and fire pits; some of the campsites and picnic sites are ADA accessible. You'll also find restrooms with hot showers and flush toilets, a dump station, and a recycling center. The campground has a boat launch for your use and a camp store where you can buy firewood, ice, and other supplies.
