Board Authorizes Public Comment Periods for Two Campground UMPs, Discusses State Land Master Plan Amendments
RAY BROOK, NY – At the August 2025 Agency meeting, the Adirondack Park Agency Board discussed the proposed State Land Master Plan amendments package, authorized joint public comment periods for two Unit Management Plan drafts, and heard an informational presentation about the Agency’s jurisdictional inquiries.
First, the board heard a presentation from Agency staff that responded to board member questions about the proposed final 2024-2025 Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan amendments package. This was followed by further discussion; no action was taken on the proposed package.
Then, the board authorized joint public comment periods with the NYSDEC for public drafts of the Lincoln Pond and Lake Luzerne Campground Unit Management Plans (UMPs). Both drafts propose management actions that address the maintenance and modernization of facilities at each campground. More details about the UMPs and the public comment period can be found online.
Finally, the Board was provided with an informational presentation from Agency staff about trends in jurisdictional inquiries, which included recent data and outcomes.
