You would have met a surlier bunch had you gone across at Lacolle/Whatever they call it on the American side. I'm talking about the I87 crossing, which is the main road between NY and Montreal. And sometimes they'll pull you over before or after the border. Both the Canadians and the Americans are unpleasant at that crossing. These days the Americans want everyone to fly (because it's easier to control), so budget more time going back into the US.
Also realise that Montreal is at least 7 hours by bus from NY. The train takes 9hrs. The Adirondacks are pretty, but there are closer places to visit.
