Adirondack Biking

Cycling in the Adirondacks

Hit the road, gravel, or trails and discover miles of cycling adventure across the Adirondacks. Cruise scenic roads, tackle rolling gravel routes, or head into the woods for rugged mountain biking, with rides for every kind of cyclist and plenty of incredible scenery along the way.

Adirondack Rail Trail

The Adirondack Rail Trail stretches 34 miles through some of the most scenic portions of the Adirondack Park. Connecting Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, and Lake Placid, the trail's gentle grade and mostly flat terrain make it easy to plan an entire fall trip around biking or hiking. Along the way, stop at scenic viewpoints, explore local communities, and visit eateries and other businesses near the trail.

Road Cycling

Here, there are almost limitless cycling opportunities, and Tupper Lake is at the crossroads of it all. The village is located at the intersection of the Adirondack (NYS Route 3) and Olympic (NYS Route 30) Scenic Byways. Enjoy everything from multi-day loops to relaxing scenic rides along the region's lakes and rivers. Explore these rides with Ride with GPS!

Ride with Gratitude 

We invite you to take the Ride with Gratitude pledge and live out the principles that help make our trails accessible and here for good. 

1. Respect this gift

Riding trails on public or private lands is a gift, not a right. That hiker we just passed? They might own the land we’re riding on. With every ride, let’s remember to be grateful for the landowners and others who make it possible.

2. Protect nature

Enjoy nature; don’t ruin it. Keep on the trails. Erosion is our single highest impact when we’re out riding. Skidding causes erosion. Cutting corners can cut off access. Riding muddy trails messes it up for everyone. If we see animals, don’t bother them; remember them. Pick up trash, pack it out, carpool there and back.

3. Care for others 

We share the trails with others, and they have the same rights and responsibilities as each of us. If someone needs help, we help. If someone needs encouragement, we share our enthusiasm. And if it’s going to make the situation better, we dismount. Be nice, yield to others, and give a smile.

4. Be the example

We know our limits, and we ride within them. Beyond the ride, let’s park where we’re supposed to keep the tunes at a dull roar, and leave the IPAs for après somewhere else. Reckless behavior? A simple, polite call out will do.
