Is Adirondack Park a National Park? No, it is neither a National Park or a state park but it does hold the distinction of containing the largest protected wilderness area east of the Mississippi. At over 6 million acres it is bigger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon and the Great Smokies National Parks combined! With over 2,000 miles of hiking trails you could probably spend all your vacations exploring this vast wilderness.
