Historic-(The Adirondack Forest Preserve,
approximately 2.5 million acres of land containing preserve
forests and recreational areas, is a National Historic Register
Site and a National Historic Landmark. The area was the first
state forest preserve in the U.S. established under ther first
comprehensive program in a state.)
Hydrologic-(Area possesses a greater
number of natural, free-flowing rivers and related water bodies
than any other region of comparable size in the northeast,
including approximately 32,000 miles of rivers and over 2,000
lakes and ponds.)
Geologic-(Area includes significant
portions of 3 of 7 regionally unique composite landscapes.
These areas, where four or more different major lanscape patterns-landform,
land use, vegetation, water- come together in juxtaposition,
are the most diverse places in the northeast. Rivers and river
segments flow through and contain numerous unique geologic
features including troughs, flumes, natural rock dams, gorges,
etc.)
Cultural-(Certain river segments
served as the habitat for a long line of celebrated Adirondack
"hermits" including the "Mayor of Cold River". The area serves
as a regional attraction for a variety of artists and photgraphers.
Selected areas such as the upper Oswegatchie River are the
focus of a fraternity of river guides from which a detailed
river folklore has evolved.)
Recreation-(Rivers and related water
bodies are important regional recreation attractions. In the
last half of the 19th century the Adirondack region was one
of the nation's most popular centers of small boat travel.
Certain rivers and river segments possess a unique diversity
of flow gradients including Class V rapids. Other river segments
such as the Raquette, Moose and Saranac, with the Fulton Chain
of Lakes form a regionally unique 132 mile boat trail.)
Botanic-(The area reportedly contains
the largest contiguous stand of vigin timber in the continental
U.S. Within areas on certain selected rivers are numerous
significant sites including the Everton Falls Preserve, a
significant example of northern Adirondack streams and ecological
systems.)
Wild-(A major portion of the area's
watersheds and river corridors are significantly undeveloped.
Certain rivers and river segments such as the Hudson, Jordan,
Cold, St. Regis and Oswegatchie are largely inaccessible and
virtually undeveloped or wild in character. State "forever
wild" land borders 411 miles of the 1206 miles of Adirondack
rivers designated in the State's Rivers System.)
