Tips for Camping in the Adirondacks

Avoid Unwanted Animal Visits

While camping in the Adirondacks, you may encounter a visit from a wild animal. Although most wild animals are afraid of people, some of them may still approach our campsites. Do NOT feed them. This not only hampers the animals natural instincts but it encourages them to make repeat visits. They may even decide to help themselves. ALWAYS store your food away in a car or hang it in a tree. NEVER leave food in your tent. These animals can and will do a lot of damage.
