Ney York road trip questions
Thanks to all who responded to my earlier post. Specifically, how is the drive along Lake Ontario between the Buffalo area and Rochester? Is it a scenic drive, and if so, is the whole drive scenic...

I've been on it a few times. It's a generally pretty drive, but not scenic in the same sense as, say, California route 1. The lake views are rather limited. Since it's near the lake shore, there aren't any significant hills. Compared to the Thruway, it's an enjoyable but slower drive.
The Lake Ontario State Parkway at the eastern end towards Rochester was, the las time I was on it, in pretty rough condition (it badly needed repaving, as well as some general TLC in places). Although not a concern for you, this particular parkway is unique in that RVs and trailers are allowed, but not commercial vehicles (and there are some height limits that preclude some RVs from traveling). RVs are generally not permitted on parkways in New York or Connecticut.
