        the best places to go Canoeing, where to stay, who the local experts are 
        and where to buy the best equipment!   
  The 
        Adirondack Park and adjacent areas contain thousands of lakes and ponds 
        and hundreds of miles of rivers and streams, including the mountain lake 
        that is the headwaters of the Hudson River. It can be considered one of 
        the nations most valuable resources. Below are some of the more popular 
        routes, though many of the best experiences can still be found by exploration.
