Interpretive Division

The Adirondack Park Agency’s Interpretive Programs Division oversees the two Visitor Interpretive Centers (VIC) in the Park located in Paul Smiths and Newcomb. Both facilities administer a variety of fun and educational programs and workshops for kids and adults of all ages. Environmental education is a priority at the Interpretive Centers. Both facilities offer miles of scenic, surfaced trails that feature signage explaining the local ecology. Indoor exhibits on natural history are complemented by regular showings of multi-image presentations on the park. The Interpretive Centers offer more than 150 public programs annually, many of them free. Both centers are open daily from 9 am to 5 pm year round, except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Admission is free. For a schedule of events, please visit www.northnet.org/adirondackvic/, or call (518) 327-3000 for more information.
