We usually do a 3 day Lake George trip each year,try riding 9 to Warrensburg to 28 turn on 28n ride to Long Lake area then loop back on 28 and take 8 over to 9 n back down to Lake George ,it’s not an all day ride but scenic and twisty in some areas.
Enjoy ,nice area

Last time I was there (+10 years ago) we took a nice day ride up to Lake Placid and back.

North to Ticonderoga, take the ferry to Vermont and take 30 either north or south...nice ride. Also check out skyline Rd....longest privately owned road...they have website. There's tons of little County routes that you can zig zag back and forth on all over the place between Vermont and new York that are great riding. Look me up when you're coming...it's my backyard

If you have flexibility on your departure date, you might want to consider postponing your trip to the first week in June and visit:

Even if you don't attend the rally, I believe if you go to their website they list a number of guided and unguided rides that they will be conducting. You may get a few ideas from there. Also, Laconia is the following week [I believe] and a ride there via:

http://www.kancamagushighway.com/
is outstanding!!!

Autumn and the leaves changing was nice but then comes snow, snow and more snow.

When I left there over 30 years ago I told my friends that I would never come back in the winter even for funerals. One guy thought I was kidding and died in February. I was not in attendance for his service. I did come up that spring after the ground thawed for the burial.

Thanks, all! I hear you on NY. I was resistant due to CC laws. It will, however, give us a good "bang for the buck" (see what I did there?) in a 4 day period. I'll be sure to look into all the suggestions!
