The Adirondack Park Agency is considering proposals to expand and link Five Ponds Wilderness and Round Lake Wilderness; to eliminate float planes on Lows Lake; to establish a new canoe route into Five Ponds Wilderness; and to declare certain waters as wilderness. The area in question is in St. Lawrence and Hamilton Counties in the northwestern portion of the park. Five Ponds Wilderness, as presently designated, contains the largest known contiguous area of unlogged forest in the Northeast. Managing adjacent areas as wilderness would be a step in creating a future 410,000-acre Bob Marshall Great Wilderness. Letters should be sent by US mail or fax to Richard Weber, Assistant Planning Director, Adirondack Park Agency, PO Box 99, Ray Brook NY 12977, and must be received by the agency by 5 pm, August 28.
