The closest airports are in Burlington, Plattsburgh, and Albany. Buses, shuttles, and rentals are available from each. There’s also a small airport in Saranac Lake, but idk how to get a flight there. More power to you if you can figure it out.

On the way up...

The greater ADK region also has a lot to offer. Try googling Ausable Chasms, Lake Champlain, Lake George, Birding in ADK… the likes. Montreal is also lovely in the summer and only a 2hr drive north. If you’re driving up from the mid-Atlantic or NY, as the Libres usually do, there are a number of fun things that you should see to break up your trip: > Reserve a timeslot at Storm King Art Center. It’s a fabulous sculpture garden near where Jon grew up. > If you’re driving from the south and you pass Keene, NY, we highly recommend picking up a pie at the Noon Mark Diner. > Pick up a frosty at the Wendy’s @ the famous Chesapeake House. If coming from Boston like the O’Neill’s, you can check out ye olde college towns of Hanover and Middlebury.
