. The Adirondacks are in northern New York State. It's the largest state park in the country and the oldest mountain range in the world, but it includes some private land, including several villages. You might have heard of Lake Placid, where the Olympics were held in 1932 and 1980. That's nine miles from my hometown. Lots of lakes and waterfalls, but nowhere near as many falls as Marinette County. What a gorgeous area for raising your son and how wonderful that he shares your love of nature. I hope you reall y are able to see them all over time. What a great goal. - Lori (Team Member)
