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.)
