yes the Adirondacks are beautiful and yes there is some great fishing and camping here,but unless you can change your time to april through may or September through October.i don't recommend coming here in july and august,im specificly talking about the old forge/inlet area.i live here,well not anymore in the summer months and the reason being,it has become an absolute nightmare.the area has become way too overcrowded and the area just cant handle it anymore.motels,campgrounds,parking areas,boat launches,hiking trails,and the lakes are just overwhelmed.there are fist fights at the boat launches every weekend and there are a few serious boat accidents on the lakes each summer,last year a power boat drove over the top of a canoe seriously injuring the people in the canoe.if you can change your time frame,id be happy to take you and your kids out fishing on the fulton chain or raquette lake.if you still wanna come this way in july or august,id be happy to help you out with where to stay and go,just shoot me a pm.
