Publisher's Synopsis
The Adirondack Park is a huge and diverse region that has earned a special place in the hearts of millions who live and visit its mountains and lakes, vistas and views, and natural and man-made attractions. There are many books that list the major sites, well-trodden trails, and "tourist traps" of the Adirondack region. Bizarre Adirondacks is a guide to everything else: the unusual, historic, strange, often-passed-by and sometimes-haunted destinations that locals only whisper about.
In this fun and fascinating tour of the Adirondacks off-the-beaten-path, author Larry Weill showcases over 100 lesser-known destinations inside and close to The Blue Line, including:
- Haunted Pine Grove Cemetery
- The Burial Plot of the Area's Earliest Double-Agent

- The Ruins of the Old Piseco Tannery
- The Great Adirondack Frying Pan Toss
- The Ghosts of Nine Corner Lake
- Adirondack French Louie's Cave
- The Bloody Pond
- The Spot Where Teddy Roosevelt Became President
- Whitehall's Sasquatch Calling Festival
- The Moss Lake Rebellion of 1975
… and many more. Bursting with photographs and insider tips, Bizarre Adirondacks is the perfect book for first-time Park visitors and lifelong Adirondack residents alike.
