Leave No Trace 7 Principles
The Adirondack Park provides a haven of pristine wilderness in New York state’s northernmost reaches. It also offers an abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities for explorers of all ages and experience levels! While you enjoy your visit, please keep the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace in mind. Set forth by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and championed by many partners within the Adirondack Park, these principles will not only improve your own nature experience, but they help preserve this unparalleled natural wonder for generations to come.
1
Know before you go
Plan ahead and prepare by checking weather reports and wind conditions. Use maps to plan where you’re going and inform someone of your paddling plans, including your expected return time and route.
2
Safety First
Ensure you have packed all paddling essentials, including a personal flotation device (PFD), appropriate clothing, navigation and first-aid equipment.
3
Clean, Drain, Dry
Wash/decontaminate watercraft to prevent the spread of non-native aquatic invasive species by practicing clean, drain, dry.
4
Pack It In, Pack It Out
Put litter—even crumbs, peels and cores—in garbage bags and carry it home. Use bathrooms or outhouses when available. If they're not available, bury human waste in a small hole 6-8 inches deep and 200 feet or 70 big steps from water and the trail.
5
Keep Wildlife Wild
Description: Observe wildlife from a distance and never approach, feed, or follow them. Human food is unhealthy for all wildlife and feeding them starts bad habits. Protect wildlife and your food by securely storing your meals and trash.
6
Leave It As You Find It
Leave plants, rocks, and historical items as you find them so others can enjoy them. Treat living plants with respect.
7
Be Considerate
Be considerate of other paddlers and boaters by sticking to shorelines and avoiding channels, paddling in single-file lines, not blocking carries, and keeping voices quiet.
