Middle Pond in the Saranac Lake Wild Forest is one of several dozen Adirondack lakes that were extensively measured and have been continuously monitored in some form since the 1980s. Researchers from the Adirondack Lake Survey Corporation visited the pond to look for the effects of acid rain. At Middle Pond, they found a lake that flushes every few weeks and wasn't acidic. They now sample its water annually. Photo by Mike Lynch

Business owners throughout the Adirondacks were forced to rethink how they do business this year in order to protect themselves and their customers from spreading COVID-19. Jason Smith, owner of Adirondack Lakes and Trails Outfitters, put up a rope up to keep customers from entering without him being alerted, so he could make sure they were wearing a mask. He also installed a doorbell. Photo by Mike Lynch
