I just wasted a few minutes looking through that map - it’s interesting that it looks at boundary=protected_area in OpenStreetMap for one of it’s references. (That’s cool! I can see my own handiwork transcribing a local database.)
For what it’s worth, if you zoom in on that diffuse green area in New York just south of the Canadian border, you’ll see a huge area of protection interspersed with private inholdings. My longest trek through there to date started just south of the McKenzie Mountain area, and traversed the High Peaks, Sargent Ponds, Blue Mountain, Blue Ridge, Moose River Plains, West Canada Lake, Jessup River, Silver Lake, and Shaker Mountain districts.
That’s my idea of visiting a lot of parks in a single trip. I wouldn’t take the family. There’s no way my wife is up to such a thing. My daughter might enjoy it if she had the time.
