Central Adirondack Association (CAA), Old Forge, New York;
Shortly after the stock market crash in 1929, business people were talking about starting a Chamber of Commerce. Some thought they ought to get together and bring the area’s entire business strength together as one. That organization was called the Central Adirondack Association (CAA). . Behind the association was the philosophy that while a certain number of vacationers will come to the area naturally and will like it as it is, others will need to be tempted.
Today the CAA continues to manage, sponsor and support many events year-round because, even now, some visitors to the Central Adirondack region still enjoy being tempted.
The CAA service area extends from Forestport, along the Rt 28 corridor through Old Forge, Inlet, Raquette Lake, Blue Mountain Lake to Indian Lake and along Rt. 30 corridor to Long Lake. We encompass three counties (Onedia, Herkimer and Hamilton) and five townships (Forestport, Webb, Inlet, Indian Lake and Long Lake).
