Any area around a river or lake will be flatter. Also, consider that many of these trips might be filled up for the summer. If you really want a non stressed bike tour in New England, I'd suggest Cape Cod during the first 2 weeks in September. Weather still is nice and the crowds are gone.
Lake Champlain is what we were looking at, but NEXT summer. Plenty of time.
