Tidbit: * The Northville-Lake Placid Trail: The 90's anniversary is celebrated on the completion of the Northville-Placid Trail (135- mile foot path from Northville to Lake Placid, established in 1992. The trail was birth before automobiles were a common stable. Heavy logging in the '20 laid ideas to the trail system, as well as the old Indian & military trails. In '22, William G. Howard, the 1st chair of the Adirondack Mountain Club, with his friends laid out the proposed trail. They hired Messrs. Edward M. Noyes and Howard Rowe to blaze the trail and they were later referred to as "Messrs". There are interesting tales of Noyes sewing up his cut chin with hair of the mule. In 2014, there are events scheduled the celebrate the 90th anniversary of the completion!

| Tidbit: The black bear in the most abundant large omnivore in the Park. Officials estimate the population to be more than 4,000. Adults can weigh between 125 to 500 pounds and live for to be 33 years old. Our Adirondack bears can open camper's containers. Please be sure to 'bear-proof' your perishable foods. Once bears get use to our food, they loose their natural instincts of wild forging. We need your help to keep our camper save and keep our bear's in their 'wild' state. |
