Mountain Biking in the Adirondacks
The Adirondack region of northern
New York
State is an outdoor recreation paradise. Whether exploring wooded trails and pathways or traveling the scenic byways between villages, the seat of a bicycle is the best place to enjoy miles of undeveloped forestland, numerous lakeside overlooks, breathtaking mountain vistas and the colorful Adirondack communities that together define the
Adirondack experience.
The
Adirondack
Park is roughly the size of the state of
Vermont, and the variety of terrain is what you might expect to find in an area so large. From flat and level trails along former railroad beds, to dirt roads traversing rolling hills, to steep mountain trails filled with rocks and roots and stream crossings, the Adirondack Park has a little bit of everything for the mountain biking enthusiast. In addition to the terrain, climate and ecology are factors to consider, with the Adirondacks being considerably wetter and more densely vegetated than many other regions of
North America.
Mountain Biking @ Whiteface Mountain
Mountain Biking the highest Verticle drop in the East is not for the faint of heart. The steeps are intense and there are challenges like the 84 foot double teeter! There are also many beautiful spots on the mountain with waterfalls, stream crossings, picnic tables and awesome views that shouldn't be missed.
The Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort in the center of it all. Just minutes away from both gentle and extreme biking terrain as well as in the heart of Lake Placid. Nightlife, great food and music await you!
