 Old Forge: Gateway to the Adirondacks
Postcard History Series
by Linda Cohen, Sarah Cohen, Peg Masters
Old Forge: Gateway to the Adirondacks is a pictorial history of the
transformation of an eighteenth-century lakeside clearing in the wilderness into one of
the premier recreational destinations in New York State's six-million-acre Adirondack
Park. It is also the story of man's struggle with and passion for the natural world.
During the nineteenth century, only a handful of rugged pioneer settlers and sportsmen
endured the harrowing, inhospitable twenty-five-mile trek through the foothills of the
Adirondack wild forests to the Old Forge lake region. Today, tens of thousands of camp
owners and visitors come to share with local residents the magnificent landscapes of the
Fulton Chain of Lakes and surrounding hamlets of McKeever, Okara, Thendara, Rondaxe, Big
Moose, Eagle Bay, Inlet, and the Stillwater-Beaver River region.
