Two suggestions:

Not a backpacking spot, but a good out-of-the-way car camping state park
(might be nice as a starting point depending on where you're headed)
is Eighth lake.  It's in the Fulton chain of lakes, on a peninsula between 7th
and 8th lakes, and far enough up to get rid of most of the RV-ers.  The
nearest town is Inlet - also a gas, everything is owned by the same family,
and there's a great bookstore.  The Fulton chain of lakes is an excellent
canoe trip for those of you into that -- few portages, spectacular scenery,
and well-spaced state parks for water, campsites, etc.

For backpacking, the area around Mt. Marcy is also nice -- I don't remember
specific trailheads though.

have fun.
