No matter which rail biking tour you choose, you'll find yourself crossing over rivers, viewing wildlife, and biking through the serene Adirondack forests that will leave you in awe.
Each rail bike seats four people, which means that you can bring three other friends or family members along for the ride with you or share your experience with another party of fellow adventurers! Appealing to the masses, you'll find everyone from biking enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers to history buffs and those looking to try something new biking along the Adirondack Scenic Railroad.

Giving you a taste of what's to come, you'll love getting your daily dose of nostalgia as you ride on the trains of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad.
After biking away from Thendara on a one-way adventure, you'll find a Railcar Transporter waiting for you to take you back to the train station for the last leg of your trip. Two train rides and a rail biking adventure all in one day? This is one epic package.
Out of all the packages that the Adirondack Scenic Rail Bikes offer, their One-Way from Thendara is the most popular of all.
