LAKE PLACID — The Adirondack Mountain Club’s recent opening of two accessible sites at its Wilderness Campground at Heart Lake are just one example of efforts to make the Adirondack Park become more accessible.
ADK announced the opening of those sites recently. Both are built on compact stone surfaces, which allow ease of movement for wheelchairs and other mobility aids. They also have wheelchair-accessible picnic tables and fire rings equipped with accessible tools. One site includes a six-person canvas cabin with a ramp leading to the platform, while the other site is a blank canvas for campers to make their own during their stays.
