Just spent a week in the Dak's. Saw many roadies, just one cyclotourist though, at Lake Eaton in Long Lake where we (and he) were camping. Late in the year for touring. Saw a few roadies down in the Old Forge area as well as tons in Lake Placid.
It's a long way between towns, thus mostly touring folks in summer. Lots of loops up in the Lake Placid/Saranac/Paul's Smiths area. Most other areas are out and back road rides due to no other roads.
Good off road and gravel riding in the Moose River Plains area, just east of the Old Forge/Inlet and SW of Indian Lake region. This area is being promoted for mt. and dirt road riding. There was a write up in touring a year ago from a guy who did a 2 day, camping in one of the free sites on the Cedar River Flow/Limekiln road. He was going Burlington to Utica in 2 days, mostly on dirt.
Then in a few years the state will have (hopefully) built the Lake Placid to Tupper Lake rail trail, a 34 mile one-way trail on the old Remsen-Lake Placid railroad. It'll pass thru Saranac Lake as well and I suspect will see a ton of use. Maybe will help get some tourist trade to Tupper.
