Fun Places to Ride

I'm a recently licensed rider with lots of parking lot practice and some practice in a small residential neighborhood. Here in the Boston area, roads aren't in great shape and things are really congested, so going out in traffic is stressful. I'll be doing more and more of that this season.

What I think would be really fun is to go somewhere where there's little or no traffic but really fun motorcycle roads, where a beginner could ride around and enjoy the roads and not be constantly negotiating traffic situations, horrible potholes, and other potential hazards. In my head I visualize something like a motorcycle "ranch" or "resort", some place that someone has set up specifically for fun. Or, alternatively, some place that's not necessarily closed to car traffic but has very little, and the roads are easy and fun for beginners. Some scenery would be nice too.

ARE there places like this? Anywhere in the US? Or am I asking the impossible.

Thanks!
