Lake George and the Adirondacks Travel Guide

"Upstate New York may be America's best-kept secret," wrote George Meegan, an Englishman who made a seven-year, 19,000-mi trek (ending in 1983) through the Americas, in his account The Longest Walk.

You might cross paths with the rich and famous, or you might cross paths with deer and bear; it just depends on how and where you choose to spend your time in the region.
