The busiest NY roads on the west side of Champlain are Rt 22 and Rt 9. You can find local roads that parallel in most places, but somtimes need to just use the main road.
Do a search for NY designated bike routes for this area, Bike Rt 9 as example. Also note that there’s a bike path that runs from Lake George to Glens Falls, if you are down that way.
An option for camping if in Lake Placid, as BTW, is at the Adirondack Loj, on Heart Lake Rd. It’s 8 miles out of LP, but 4 miles south of Rt 73 if you are heading south tpwards Keene. The Loj has inexpensive lodging indoors, as well as lean-to’s open all year for camping, situated around Heart Lake.
