The [[Taconic State Parkway]] is a north–south parkway through LaGrange. [[James Baird State Park]], which provides a golf course, playground, sports fields, and hiking and cycling trails, is located in LaGrange along the Taconic Parkway. The parkway also serves as an important commuter road for LaGrange, connecting the town to points south, including [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]] {{convert|51|mi}} and [[New York City]], {{convert|75|mi}} to the south.

In the summer and fall of 2014, three [[traffic circle]]s were added to this stretch of Route 55 in Freedom Plains in an effort to ease congestion and also to beautify this part of LaGrange. To the west, Route 55 connects LaGrange to the city of [[Poughkeepsie, New York|Poughkeepsie]], the closest urbanized area to LaGrange, ; to the east, Route 55 connects LaGrange to the town of [[Pawling (town), New York|Pawling]] and the [[New York State Route 22|Route 22]] corridor.
