Lake George into the Adirondack State Park & Museum - By Guest

Im a big fan of the run up 9N up the west side of Lake George. Road quality is excellent through there, the views are spectacular; but unfortunately the high-volume of tourist traffic in the summer can at times slow your ride on this road down to a crawl. Pitkin's Diner literally saved my life on one rain-soaked, nearly hypothermic ride through the Adirondacks last spring, so I strongly recomend it! 28N is a gorgeous ride, sparsely traveled even during the height of tourist season and surrounded by thick pine forest. If you're into history, check out Aden Lair in Minerva, an old hunting lodge where Teddy Roosevelt stopped on his midnight ride from Mt. Marcy to North Creek on his way to Buffalo to become President. Parts of this road, especially near Long Lake, are a little rough however. Otherwise a great road.
