Route 11 is not stop and go going east from Watertown. I suggest NY 12 toward Alex Bay and Ogdensburg. Right along the river with a couple of nice pull out to look at the river. Continue on rte 37. Stop at the locks in Massena to watch a ship go through if you are lucky. Hogansburg has a casino. 37 eventually joins 11 at Malone NY.
At Alex bay there is a nice parking area with a shuttle to the boat cruise to Boldt castle. Easy parking right on the highway. Big M grocery and liquor store plus gas fill up $2.89 for gas right there as well.
Ogdensburg has a Walmart, Price Chopper Grocery and an Aldi grocery
Definately not stop and go and not crowded either, Mostly along the river.
Wave to me as you cross the bridge I am upriver about 1/2 mile on right. Do not spite
