Syracuse Hancock International Airport

Potsdam is a decent drive from several airports. Syracuse is one of the easier airports to fly into: it's about 2.5 hours from us. If you fly into Syracuse, you'll need to rent a car to get to us in Potsdam. Other airport options you could check out are: Burlington, Vermont; Ottawa, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec. These airports range from 1.5 to 3 hours from us, and also require a rental car. Please feel free to check in with Erin or Nick if you're considering flying in and have any questions!

Driving directions from vicinity of New York City, Long Island, or New Jersey

In general it takes about 7-8 hours to drive from the New York City area to Potsdam. There's a couple of different routes you can take: 1. Probably the most direct route from NYC/Long Island heads to Albany, then through the Adirondacks. It's a beautiful drive, but does involve some windy roads and minimal cell service for a bit—feel free to ask if you've got any questions! Specific directions for this route: From all points south of Albany, travel on Interstate 87 North/NYS Thruway North. Take Exit 24 through the tollbooth in Albany, and continue north on I-87/The Adirondack Northway for almost 60 miles. Take Exit 23 heading towards Route 9/Warrensburg. From the exit ramp, turn left onto County Route 35 West. After 0.3 miles, turn right onto Route 9, traveling northwest. Drive 4 miles, until Route 28 North intersects with Route 9. Turn left at the yellow caution light onto Route 28 North. Follow Route 28 North for 44 miles, until reaching Blue Mountain Lake. You will notice that Route 28 North and Route 30 North are the same road from Indian Lake to Blue Mountain Lake. Once in Blue Mountain Lake, you will turn right onto Route 30 North. After driving 10 miles, you will enter Long Lake, and you will have to turn left to stay on Route 30 North. After another 22 miles, you will enter Tupper Lake. Once in Tupper Lake, you can follow signs for Potsdam, and turn right onto Lake Street. Lake Street turns into Route 3 West. Continue to follow Route 3 West for approximately 16 miles. At Sevey’s Corners, turn right onto Route 56 North. Take Route 56 approximately 33 miles, until Potsdam comes into view on your right. 2. Another option would be to head to Albany, then take I-90 to Utica, then a series of highways from Utica up to Potsdam. 3. Yet another route is to take I-80 through Pennsylvania, then head up through Scranton, Binghamton, Syracuse, Watertown, and then to Potsdam. If you're driving in, please feel free to check in with us about routes!
