About the Roosevelt-Marcy Trail
Follow the route of Teddy Roosevelt's wild ride from Mount Marcy to the North Creek Train Station, where he learned that he was to become the 26th president of the United States. The roadway was designated as a The Roosevelt-Marcy Memorial Highway in the early 1980’s prior to being incorporated in the NYS Scenic Byway Program in 1992. This 40-mile jaunt on route 28N runs from North Creek to Long Lake.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
