The Lake George Region is Bicycle Friendly<br />

Residents and visi<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sou<strong>the</strong>rn</strong> <strong>Adirondacks</strong> have discovered<br />

some great cycling. The Warren County Bikeway, a 10<br />

foot wide paved and landscaped County bike path was completed<br />

in 1978. This destination bike path begins in Lake George Village’s<br />

Westbrook Park and passes through 10.5 miles of <strong>Sou<strong>the</strong>rn</strong><br />

Adirondack scenery <strong>to</strong> Queensbury, where it passes over Quaker<br />

Road and links riders <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Feeder Canal System. Combined, <strong>the</strong><br />

two bikeway system will offer visi<strong>to</strong>rs and residents twenty plus<br />

miles of “destination” bicycle riding opportunities.<br />

As cycling has become more<br />

popular, <strong>the</strong> Warren County GIS<br />

Program has taken on <strong>the</strong> goal<br />

of creating a series of hiking and<br />

biking maps for Warren County.<br />

The maps are available for download<br />

on <strong>the</strong> program’s website (http://warrencountyny.gov/gis/<br />

maps) and on <strong>the</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>Wilderness</strong> website (http://www.firstwilderness.com).<br />

Additional maps are added regularly.<br />

In addition, Warren County GIS offers two interactive map<br />

websites, <strong>the</strong> Community Map (http://gis-2.warrencountyny.<br />

gov/warrencountygis), which includes information on bicycling<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r recreation opportunities throughout <strong>the</strong> County, and<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>Wilderness</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> <strong>Corridor</strong> S<strong>to</strong>ry Map (http://gis-2.<br />

warrencountyny.gov/shortlist/), which offers details about a variety<br />

of recreation and cultural opportunities throughout <strong>the</strong> <strong>First</strong><br />

<strong>Wilderness</strong> region.<br />

Welcome, whe<strong>the</strong>r you’ve come for a nice relaxing vacation<br />

or want <strong>to</strong> discover all <strong>the</strong> Adirondack region has <strong>to</strong> offer, what<br />

better way <strong>to</strong> experience <strong>the</strong> area than on a bicycle?<br />
