The best Adirondack social media and podcasts

If you want to experience the Adirondacks beyond the well-trodden trails and popular overlooks, you need more than a map—you need a guide. And in today’s world, that often means a curated social feed from people who live and work here, and love the Adirondacks enough to share them with the world.

From rugged hiking guides to history-minded storytellers, these Instagram and Facebook accounts will keep you connected to the region’s beauty, culture, and hidden corners. They’re not shilling for one lodge or restaurant; instead, they’re offering an honest, compelling look at the best of the Adirondacks—often with tips you won’t find in any brochure.

Life in the ADK – An Adirondack insider’s insider.

Michelle Bartlett’s Life in the ADK is a one-woman ambassadorial mission. With more than 100,000 Facebook followers and an active Instagram presence, she shares everything from the big-ticket attractions to quiet corners you’ve probably never heard of.

Bartlett’s infuses her posts with genuine affection for the communities and landscapes she features, and her accompanying app is a handy directory for lodging, restaurants, and activities—without bias toward advertisers.

The tone is approachable and helpful, the visuals are warm and inviting, and the coverage is as broad as the park itself. Think of it as following a friend who always knows the best trailhead, the coziest coffee shop, and the most photogenic pull-off.
