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 Famous Tales from the State’s Oldest Courthouse 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.
