Popular Bike Routes: Cycle Your Way Through the Lake George Area

Warren County Bikeway

paved path along fields

At the southern tip of Lake George where the steamboats dock, you'll find the entrance to the Warren County Bikeway - a scenic and paved 9.4-mile-long bike path that runs from Lake George to Glens Falls. The bikeway is dotted with signs from the historical association that make the trip educational as well as fun! There are places to stop along the way and take a break, so be sure to pack snacks and plenty of water.

During the ride, you will bike through a forest under a canopy of trees, cross two bridges, and pass a small inlet of Glen Lake, among other highlights. Please note that there are some sections of the bikeway where the trail shares the shoulder of the road with motor vehicles.

Note: Dogs are prohibited on the bikeway, as indicated by signs.

Feeder Canal Trail

Another one of our favorites is the Feeder Canal Trail, a 9-mile-long gravel path that passes many historic and scenic sights, including the remains of a five-stepped lock. Because of the gravel, mountain bikes are recommended for use on the Feeder Canal Trail.
