See a part of the scenic Adirondacks as never seen before. Take a ride on a portion of the Adirondack Railroad, closed to the public for 35 years, on rail bikes. For the first time in the USA, Rail Explorers are bringing the pedal powered railbikes to the six miles of historic railroad between Saranac Lake and Lake Clear.

You'll ride by streams, across lakes and through forests that few have accessed before.

Share the experience in the two seat railbike, or bring the family and ride together in the four seat railbike.
