Depending on how long you’ve been a reader of Only In New York, you might be familiar with the fact that we love to create fun and delicious road trips for all of us to enjoy. In the past, one of our most loved road trips was one that took us up to the Adirondack Park – bringing you to some of our favorite small towns that just so happen to have delicious ice cream stands. Showcasing one of the tastiest stops on that trip, see why you can’t miss out on driving past this amazing roadside gem in Upstate New York.

The small village of Saranac Lake has a lot of things to offer those who come to explore this slice of the Adirondack Park, but one of our favorite reasons to visit sits right along the roadside.
