heart of the Adirondack Parks, the
Best part of NY State. For
business, attractions, outdoor &
services by exits, Covers Lake
George, Schroon Lake.
Some Facts & Trivia:
The Road is posted 45 mph from US 20 to Exit 1,
then 55 mph from the Thruway Exit 1 to Halfmoon,
Exit 8, MP 10. Then it's 65 mph all the way north to
Exit 42 in Champlain, where it's 55 mph again for
less than a mile before the Canadian Border.
From US 20 in Albany to Canadian Border 177
Miles or 285 Kms.
If you are looking for Lake George, use Exits 20–
22. Lake Placid, Keene Valley, Whiteface Mtn.,
use Exit 30
Interstate 87 is totally in New York State.
I-87 is the Major Deegan Expressway in NYC, the
NYS Thruway from Westchester County to Exit 24
in Albany, then it’s our Northway to Canada.
Cell phone service is dead from Exit 28 north to at
least Exit 33, though improvements are expected

 Hunting Info:
 Big Game, deer & bear, started on October 20
goes to thru to December 7
 There is a late bear season in December
 The whole park is in the Northern Zone
 You can hunt on almost all public land
providing you are at least 500’ from a building.
Private land, you need permission.
 No loaded guns on any motor vehicle or boat
underway, except for handicap ATV
 Blaze orange is not required, neither are back
tags in northern zone.
 Hunters: Please be really careful! For the rest:
the Adirondacks is large and hilly, has relatively
few hunters so it is very safe for hikers and others
in season.

 Fishing Info:
 NYS has free fishing days, when ?
 Most of the Adk is in Region 5
 Trout is usually from 4/1 to 10/15 but is open all
year on the Hudson River, Lk George, Schroon
Lk, Kayderosseras Creek & Moreau Lake, all
near or under I-87
 Alewife or blueback herring bait is illegal in
Region 5
 Bait fish is usually illegal in trout waters

time for both of us.
