Andy Flynn publishes Ad’k Park User’s Guide

Hungry Bear Publishing recently released the print version of “New York’s Adirondack Park: A User’s Guide,” by Andy Flynn & Friends, which answers the question: “What is the Adirondack Park?”

With information from the Adirondack Park’s leading government, not-for-profit and historical organizations, the guide offers residents and visitors a valuable reference guide that will help them safely and responsibly use the state-owned Forest Preserve.

The guide includes informational links to community assets, such as attractions, special events, communications, transportation, tourism organizations, and recreational opportunities. There are also helpful tips on using the Forest Preserve, hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, bicycling and more.

“If there’s one book every Adirondack visitor should have in hand when they arrive, it is the ‘Adirondack Park User’s Guide,’” said Flynn.

Flynn drew upon his eight years of tourism industry experience as a public relations specialist for the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) Visitor Interpretive Centers to compile this book.

Officials from the New York State Department of Environ-mental Conservation (DEC) and APA contributed to the book, along with members of the Adirondack Forest Preserve Education Partnership: the DEC, Adirondack Regional Tourism Council, Adirondack Mountain Club, Wildlife Conservation Society, Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, and Leading Edge.

The book includes 13 of Flynn’s stories from the “Adirondack Attic,” straight from the archives of the Adirondack Museum, to help illustrate the how-to aspects of using the Forest Preserve and give a much-needed historical perspective.

Andy Flynn is an author, publisher and award-winning newspaper editor living in Saranac Lake. In his spare time, he operates Hungry Bear Publishing with his wife, Dawn.

During the day, he is the assistant managing editor at Denton Publications in Elizabethtown and editor of the North Creek News Enterprise.

Flynn has published eight books, including the six-part “Adirondack Attic” book series and “Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Memories.” He is also a news correspondent for North Country Public Radio and has two radio programs on NCPR, “The Adirondack Attic” and “New York’s Bluegrass Trail.”
