Adirondack Region's Scenic Byways

Fourteen Scenic Byways meander through the quaint villages and picturesque mountains of the Adirondack region. A Scenic Byway is a road with a story to tell. Byways offer magnificent views, fascinating historical sites, access to an array of outdoor activities, captivating cultures, spellbinding art or spectacular structures.

The byways each represent a different theme: scenic, natural, recreational, cultural, historical or archaeological. New York state boats two National Scenic Byways and an All-American Road, the latter passes through the Adirondacks and holds the nation's highest designation.

Travel the route of Vice President Teddy Roosevelt the night he learned that President McKinley had been shot in Buffalo, enjoy a rush from the bobsled track in Lake Placid or learn about the history of the Adirondacks at the museum in Blue Mountain Lake.

A Scenic Byways isn't just a road - it's history, excitement and culture.
