Mountain bikes, road bikes, or tandems - there are many opportunities to explore the Saranac Lake area. Choose from short jaunts through historic neighborhoods in the Village, or longer routes alongside lakes and around mountains. Ride to Donnelly's Corners for ice cream, cruise the Norman Ridge area, or find the route to Franklin Falls. For gentle excursions, there are loops to Onchiota, Gabriels, and Paul Smiths.
Mountain biking is possible at Dewey Mountain or on the Bloomingdale Bog trails. Saranac Lake area road bike routes are available below and at the Chamber office!
