Road trips beyond New York City

Christine Smyczynski’s guide organizes Upstate New York into twenty drives, from familiar routes along the Hudson River and through the Catskills to less-traveled destinations. Lakes, mountains, woodlands, small towns, and historical sites provide the regional backdrop, while seasonal suggestions help shape when to go. This second edition adds coverage of Watkins Glen State Park and Tannersville, and updates information on restaurants, shops, and lodging along the routes. The emphasis is practical and geographic: a framework for choosing a drive, planning stops, and exploring different corners of the state by car.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers planning drives or weekend excursions in Upstate New York
  • Visitors interested in seasonal routes, small towns, and regional sights
  • Road trippers seeking suggestions for restaurants, shops, and lodging along the way
