How Cute! There’s a Heart-Shaped Lake in the Adirondacks

Did you know there's a cute heart-shaped lake in the Adirondacks?

Okay, "lake" is probably a strong word. According to Adirondack expert Bill Ingersoll, who has written several guide books on the Adirondacks and surrounding areas, the body of water is actually a small bog pond near North Creek, New York, better known as the home of Gore Mountain. You can find it on Google Maps by searching for "Bird Pond."

The pond is apparently privately owned, so you wouldn't be able to visit without the owner's permission. But it's still pretty cool that it exists.

The Adirondacks continue to show why it's one of the most beautiful areas not only in New York, but in the entire United States. The term "hidden gem" gets thrown around a lot, but we can't deny that the Adirondacks is full of them.

North Creek, New York is the closest town to the pond. Even though this particular pond is off limits, if you type in "North Creek" into AirBnb, there are plenty of cozy spots in the area you can rent for your next romantic getaway.

I "heart" New York indeed!
