Synopsis: Wilderness Camping in the Adirondacks is a handy and helpful guide for adventure seekers planning weekend or two-day camping trips in the Adirondack Park. Bill Ingersoll, guidebook author and chairman of Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, features 25 relatively easy outings scattered throughout the 6-million-acre park for campers to hike trails or paddle canoes to lean-tos, primitive tent sites, and some camps accessible only by water. Introductory sections also unpack New York State&’s regulations and guidelines for wilderness camping and provide tips for gear selection, visitor safety, and leave-no-trace principles. With detailed trail and waterway maps for each hike along with on-the-ground photographs taken by the author, Wilderness Camping in the Adirondacks is the perfect companion to any weekend getaway or multi-night journey in the lakes, mountains, rivers, and trails of the Adirondacks.
