Road, mountain, and fat bike the Adirondacks

This area has a long history as an Adirondack cycling destination. Scenic road tours, gravity assisted dirt thrills, and wilderness routes are just some of the many reasons to stay here on your next bike vacation. Road riders can enjoy the seldom-traveled roads along the Sacandaga River, mountain bikers can challenge themselves on the exciting new lift-serviced terrain at Oak Mountain, and winter riders can explore the area's many snowmobile trails on fat tires. There is a cycling experience for everyone in the Adirondacks.

Brave the Black Fly, scenic roads, and dirt riding

The famous Black Fly Challenge, held annually between Inlet and Indian Lake, takes hundreds riders on a 40-mile trip though the Moose River Plains, and is one of the highlights of the summer riding season. Riding bikes on the pristine Moose River Plains Road is not limited to this event however. All throughout the warmer months riders can enjoy spinning their wheels on this well maintained wilderness road. This area is also home to a series of well-signed dirt loops that take riders along closed pavement sections and dirt roads.  For a different off-road experience try Fern Park, a popular recreation area in Inlet.

Road bike enthusiasts will find no shortage of quiet roads throughout Hamilton County. Any of the state roads make for excellent riding with quiet traffic and smooth pavement. The scenery as you parallel Indian Lake on Route 30 and then tour up to Blue Mountain Lake on Route 28 is beyond compare.

And with all this riding to explore, you'll want to stay for a weekend or a week at one of our cozy hotels, inns, or lodges, while topping off a day of riding with a dinner and a drink!
