About Us
The Adirondack Explorer is dedicated to promoting the wise use, public enjoyment and lasting protection of Adirondack Park by providing a unique journalistic voice for the Park. First published in 1998, the nonprofit Explorer gets the message out through its bimonthly magazine and its digital offerings, including the best-read online news journal in the Park, the Adirondack Almanack (http://www.adirondackalmanack.com).
The magazine covers the people, places and politics of the region with a special emphasis on the Park’s wildlife, natural attributes, conservation needs and recreational opportunities. Every issue includes several narratives about excursions you and your family can take in the Park.
In addition, subscribers receive the Annual Outings Guide a yearly collection of the best excursion stories from the Explorer, to help you plan your own Adirondack adventures.
The magazine is also available in digital form, with the vivid presentation of iPad and Android mobile devices as well as desktop computers. The banner link at the bottom of this page will take you to sample editions of both print and digital editions. You may also check out the sample stories displayed below.
The Explorer offers daily blogs and news links on this site and a wide variety of Adirondack voices, subjects and commentary on the Adirondack Almanack. In 2014, the Explorer began publishing family-oriented guide books to short hikes in various regions of the Adirondacks. This year, the fourth in the series will be published, a guidebook on the state’s newly acquired Finch Pruyn lands.
As a nonprofit, the Explorer relies on tax-deductible contributions from supporters as well as subscription and advertising revenue. Without this help from our readers we wouldn’t be able to bring you this publication.
