  • NYSDEC & AMR Pilot Reservation System
    Updated 04/15/21 NYSDEC & AMR Pilot Reservation System DEC and the Adirondack Mountain Reserve (AMR) launched a no-cost pilot reservation system to address public safety at a heavily traveled stretch on Route 73 in the town of Keene in the Adirondack High Peaks. The Adirondack Mountain Reserve is a privately owned 7,000-acre land parcel located in the town of Keene Valley that allows for limited public access through a conservation easement agreement with DEC. The pilot reservation system does not apply to other areas in the Adirondack Park. The reservation system, operated by AMR, will facilitate safer public access to trailheads through the AMR gate and for Noonmark and Round mountains and improve visitors' trip planning and preparation by ensuring they have guaranteed parking upon arrival. In recent years, pedestrian traffic, illegal parking, and roadside stopping along Route 73 have created a dangerous environment for hikers and motorists alike. These no-cost reservations will be required May 1 through Oct. 31, 2021. Reservations will be required for parking, daily access, and overnight access to these specific trails. Visitors can make reservations beginning April 15 at hikeamr.org. Walk-in users without a reservation will not be permitted. o There is no cost associated with making a reservation. o Those arriving to Keene Valley via Greyhound or Trailways bus lines may present a valid bus ticket from within 24 hours of arrival to the AMR parking lot attendant in lieu of a reservation. o Those being dropped off or arriving by bicycle must check in at the AMR Hiker Parking Lot and produce a valid reservation.

Since 1902, the Keene Valley Country Club or K.V.C.C. has been a summertime gathering place for relaxation, sport, and community for area residents and their guests. Located in the heart of the hamlet of Keene Valley, NY K.V.C.C. is situated on the banks of the Ausable River and surrounded by the Adirondack high peaks. The Keene Valley Country Club is also significant under Criterion C: Architecture, as the clubhouse and contributing buildings and site are unusually well preserved, and retain much of the original fabric, and layout, little has been added or changed since 1902. Criteria A: Entertainment/Recreation Historical Overview: The Settlement of Keene Flats – The Hamlet of Keene Valley In 1794 Nathaniel Mallory staked out 640 acres for himself of valuable river valley lands containing Hulls Falls and part of the “Great Flats” of present-day Marcy Field to the south. In 1798 he was issued patents on approximately 9000 more acres of bottomland along the east and west branches of the Ausable River, which became known as Mallory’s Grant, and within which lie the hamlets of present-day Keene and most of Keene Valley. The rest of the early settlement of Keene Valley lies within the Richards Survey.

Glenn Harris St. Lawrence University THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS: WILDERNESS PRESERVATION OR BIOREGIONAL VISION? 2 Glenn Harris is Professor and Culpeper Teaching Fellow in the Environmental Studies Program at St. Lawrence University, Can- ton, NY, USA. There has been, for many years, considerable debate over the efficacy of the different levels of government in the solution of environmental problems. On the one hand, it is believed that a strongly authoritarian government, or oli- garchy, will be necessary if widespread disruptions to the environment are to be arrested.1 On the other hand, it is thought that meaningful and permanent so- lutions for environmental problems can only develop within political institutions permitting active involvement by people.2 This debate reflects a conflict along similar political lines in the Adirondack region of New York State. Since the establishment of the Adirondack Forest Preserve in the 1880s, there has been ongoing controversy. A fundamental issue is the balance of power between state and local governments; in the Adirondack mountains, local governments felt their powers usurped when the Adirondack Park was formed in 1892. The park contains a mix of private and state-owned land. Approximately 60 While the concerns of local government are rooted fundamentally in issues of self-determination and autonomy, they are usually expressed in terms of land- use control and taxation.4 A large amount of evidence supports the assertion that local governments desire more power to deal with land-use questions.
