With 97 percent of travel by car this summer, road trips are clearly very popular with travelers. AAA has seen an increase in requests for maps, tour books and TripTiks as motorists look for guidance to safely get to their destinations. So, we decided to ask our Route Production department for their top five picks for road trips within New York State.

Here they are:

• Adirondacks/Thousand Islands – for great hotels and/or camping, lots to see and do including hiking, swimming, fishing and more.
• Saratoga Springs – The Sagamore Resort is very popular with great Family Packages and lots of activities! 
• Niagara Falls, NY – close to home fun and a natural wonder of the world!
• Finger Lakes – scenic drives, shopping, boating, swimming, wine and craft beer trails – always remember to driver responsibly. 
• Chautauqua Lake – boating, fishing, cycling, golfing, National Comedy Center. 

Our list even caught the attention of The Buffalo News that featured our picks! Find the article with drive times from Buffalo here!
