     And then there are the historical lighthouses, the un-crowded beaches, the lakeside restaurants, and the historical communities hugging its shoreline.
     You can even watch for Champy — our legendary cousin of the Loch Ness monster.
     The Adirondack Park is a six-million acre natural sanctuary of public and private land protected under the state constitution.
