"We had a great experience with the shuttle service. Made riding the rail trail perfect. Picked us up in Tupper Lake and drop us off in Lake Placid so we could ride it all in one day. Our driver Randy was awesome. So knowledgeable of the trail, places to stop and eat, places to enjoy the scenery. Would use them again. They provided us with a map and some snacks. Perfect." - John Graziose
And the best part is, the shuttle schedule is 100% your schedule since bookings are by request with an easy-to-use online reservation system.
