The historic town of Adirondac housed the workers of the iron mines which once yielded the mysterious wonder metal, titanium. While the mine area itself is not accessible by the public, the "ghost town" and a 48 foot blast furnace remain in this wilderness area.
Adirondac/Tahawus Mines Trailhead: Exit 29 (from I-87) turning W onto Blue Ridge Road, Rte 2. Follow this route for 17.4 miles to an intersection with multiple signs which was once the mining operation.
The Tahawus Tract & Henderson Lake offer lovely photo opportunities.
