Great Lakes Seaway from Rochester to points east

39' DP towing a Subaru Forester.

Looking at going across the top of New York and through Vermont, across New Hampshire & into Maine. Have about two days for causal travel in mind.

How's the route?
  • Friday George Eastman museum, then points East

    Saturday continued eastbound

    Sunday, eventual arrival in the Portland, Maine region
  • Have you found out how far it is from your starting point to your destination? I grew up in NYS and think 2 days would not be long enough for a casual trip.
  • X2 on a stop to see the big ocean going ships go through the Eisenhower lock near Robert Moses State Park.

    On Heart Island just off the town Alexandria Bay is Boldt Castle - absolutely amazing what can be done when money is no object.
  • 37 isn't bad if your not in a hurry. The hwy is on the north side. Stop at Robert Moses State Park an see the locks. Take the ferry across Lake Champlain if you have the time.
