Adirondack Park, at 6.1 million acres, is huge. A little more than half of the land is privately owned. The rest is owned by the state but it’s all regulated by the Adirondack Park Agency which keeps commercial development under control. Paved roads crisscross the park but getting into the wilderness involves hiking.
The Adirondack Museum is huge too. It’s spread out over 32 acres and includes relocated cabins and lodges plus three large museum buildings with displays about logging, boating, recreation, overland transportation, history, and art. Admission tickets are good for two days. If you use an Entertainment Book coupon, which I recommend because you’ll save the price of a national membership with just this ticket purchase, enter Old Forge, New York as the city location. Some changes have been made on the website and coupons are not as easy to locate as they were with the old system.
The three large museum buildings are accessible. Some of the ramps between display areas are very steep. Most of the relocated buildings have steps or high thresholds. The main paths are paved but some paths leading to the cabins are gravel and steep.
RVs parking is located across the road in a large gravel lot. Park close to the driveway to avoid the push through the lot. The driveway is paved but it’s a push uphill so a drop off at the main entrance might be easiest. Very short RVs may be permitted to parking in the main lot. Museum
