Adirondack Park is home to the Great Camps, luxurious rustic retreats built in the late 19th century, such as Sagamore and Santanoni, tucked away in the midst of stunning wilderness. 2. There's a hidden gem called the Adirondack Carousel, a beautifully handcrafted carousel in Saranac Lake featuring local animals like loons, brook trout, and black flies as its whimsical characters. 3. At over 6 million acres, Adirondack Park is larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, and the Great Smoky Mountains national parks combined! 4. Lake Placid, a tiny village within Adirondack Park, hosted the Winter Olympics twice, in 1932 and 1980, making it the only location to host the Winter Games in the United States twice. 5. Adirondack Park is a designated Dark Sky Park, allowing for pristine stargazing. In some areas, you can even spot the Milky Way on a clear night!
