We travel to the Adirondack once or twice a year as it's one of our favourite locations to explore that is close by for us.
I would second going up the I-81 then over to Old Forge on the 28, then up to Long Lake and Tupper Lake over to Lake Placid. Lake Placid is a pretty central location you could use to explore with the Jeep. The KOA just outside Lake Placid is one of the best KOA's we have ever stayed. Take the trip up Whiteface with the Jeep if you can.
I would also recommend taking Hwy 73 east out of Lake Placid to the I-87. This was one of the best highways to travel for a mountain experience which I suspect you are looking for. You can then go to Lake George and over to Vermont, or go north to Plattsburg and over to Vermont. You should also make sure you visit New Hampshire on the way to the coast. This is another amazing mountain experience area, take the Jeep up Mount Washington in the White Mountains, even better than the Whiteface NY trip ;)
As much as I would love for you to come to Canada to visit our area, you will get much more out of the NY,VT,NH,ME route. You will enjoy the Canadian maritime's though, its a great location, especially Cape Breton, Halifax and PEI.
Enjoy your time :)
