Why New York is a short list of legal roads inside an enormous park

New York holds the largest protected area in the contiguous United States and almost none of it is federal. The Congressional Research Service counts 210,819 federal acres here, 0.7 percent of the state, with no Bureau of Land Management ground at all. The Adirondack Park alone covers about six million acres, which the Adirondack Park Agency notes is larger than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier and Grand Canyon put together.
