What is the best route to take from Harvard/Lowell (MA) to Lake Placid?
The shortest distance looks to be going to Burlington, VT but then Lake
Champlain doesn't seem to have any bridges at that point. Are there
winter ferries at Burlington? Or am I forced to go the long way to
Albany (Rt2?) and then take i-87 up to Lake Placid? Any idea on the
driving time to expect?
Also, there used to be a free route planning service offered on the
www, but I can't seem to find it. Any address pointers?

| 641.12 | Rt 2 is pretty but slow | CPEEDY::BAZ | Tom Bazarnick | Mon Feb 24 1997 22:06 | 7 |
| Rt 2 is quite slow from the Connecticut River area all the way to
the Adirondak Northway (I-87). From the Lowell area it's much faster
to take 495 to the Mass Pike to the New York State Thruway to the
Northway, about 2:45 hrs total. Then it's about 2:30 more to Lake
Placid. I don't speed, so you could probably do a little better.

Thanks for the tip. I would have thought taking I495 thirty minutes
south to the Pike which also continues southerly would not have been
the best choice (looking at the map), but if Rt2 is a pain to drive,
it sounds worth the diversion for unbroken easy highway driving...
I also found a Lake Placid website that offered directions from Boston
in case it helps anyone else:
From Boston, Springfield, Hartford Take Massachusetts Turnpike
(I-90) to
Albany. Pick up I-787 north to Cohoes. Connect with Route 7 west
to I-87
north. Follow I-87 (Northway) to Exit 30, Pick up Rt. 9 north and
follow it
for two miles to Rt. 73. Continue on 73 for 28 miles to Lake
Placid area.
From NYC: 5 hrs, Albany: 2 1/2 hrs. Drive time from Boston: 5 hours.
