Lived and constantly revisit the adirondacks for most of my life. Very disappointed with writers descriptions. They get ME lost, and I know all the roads the writer has covered. Really need to sit down with a good map and redo the directions and direction of travel. However, the ride is great, and for a real treat run 28N between Long Lake and North Creek where you can get an absolutely wonderful breakfast and lunch at "Marshas" or a truely outstanding evening meal at "Black Mountain Lodge". Nice rooms too.

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.

The first section (~6 mi)follows the northwest side of Lake George with great lake scenery and Adirondack mountains in the background. The route then heads inland through a lush mountain road before dropping back down along the lake and into the town of Bolton Landing. Road quality description: Heading south from Hague along Lake George is smooth and easy. Then the road becomes hilly and twisty, with long sweeping turns and moderate switchbacks. It is an easy ride and a fast one if you wish. The road quality is very good throughout the entire route. Amenities rating: Bolton Landing gets touristy in the summer, but is a popular offshoot of Lake George Village. North of the town along this route, however is sparsely populated, making it a great section of motorcycle road.

Great ride. A little busy near the town of Lake George.
