Looking for a scenic place to ride along a river or ocean that is at least 10 miles long and is relatively uncrowded. (I want to be able to ride fast and look at the view, not look out for people.)

Even better if it also features a good place to kayak and is near small-town-type attractions (unusual boutiques, craft fairs, interesting museums, drive-in movie theater, outdoor concerts, etc.)

And if you know of nearby camp grounds that accept tents, or inexpensive but clean motels, that would also be helpful. (Don’t ask why it’s okay to sleep on dirt in a campground but not okay to sleep on dirty sheets in a motel ! )

Roughly Delaware in the U.S. to southern Canada or the tips of New England would be the longest driving distance I’d consider. The closer to where I live (Albany/Kingston area of New York) the better, but I’m willing to consider flying to other areas if they rent a wide variety of bicycles and I can find cheap air fare. Sell me on your favorite place!
