Hospitality:adk provides unique lodging experiences at the adirondack loj, heart lake wilderness campground and cabins, and johns brook property. These facilities are tucked away in the high peaks wilderness area, one of the wildest and most remote places in the northeast. Providing a variety of lodging options, including those fully accessible for all persons, accomplishes adk's mission of responsible recreation. These further reduce pressure on the backcountry of the high peaks wilderness and provide access for those who may not have developed the skills necessary for backcountry camping.
