The park will be crowded because of the weekend. It's even more so when the kids get out of school. Whatever you do make sure you have a reservation someplace well in advance or you'll never get one. The weather, I'm assuming too will be similar.
The eastern park of the Adirondacks gets more people from the major metropolitan areas and is a bit more expensive and sophisticated than the western half. More shops and the like, more gourmet food, and a different kind of tourist. The western part is more rustic.
Besides shopping, there's fishing, canoeing, hunting, birding, nature watching, photography, orienteering, small cruises, art galleries, museums, classes, lectures, history, the occasional tennis court, and swimming though it would be too cold for that. And then there's always eating. The motel I usually stay at has a large library and board games too. There are campsites, cabins, hotels and motels, resorts, and old-timey places in the woods that serve on real silver using the American or European food plan.
If you want to go off the main roads having a GPS is a good idea and if hiking make sure you sign in at the beginning of the trail boxes. Roads are generally one lane in each direction and places can be far between but should at least find a tavern here and there if outside the villages. It's a really unique place, refreshing, fascinating. Hope you have a good time, I always do.
