Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the completion of the state’s largest Adirondack land acquisition in more than 100 years, with the purchase of the 20,758-acre Boreas Ponds Tract. This is the final acquisition in a series of land purchases the state has completed under a 2012 agreement with The Nature Conservancy to conserve 69,000 acres of land previously owned primarily by the former Finch, Pruyn & Company paper company. The Tract is located primarily in the town of North Hudson in Essex County, south of the High Peaks Wilderness Area.

the Boreas tract concludes the Fynch purchase.  It's probably the best piece of the acquisition.  freaking sweet!  

It will make the approach to Allen so much easier, that is a long hike as it is today - that is if they maintain that road and create a parking area. It will also make it easier to get to Panther Gorge but that might not be such a good thing.

Not sure why he's asking anyway. He won't go anywhere if they don't have a bubble lift

This place is a/the crown jewel of the park from what I've seen.  It's going to be popular.
