GETTING HERE

We like to call it “centrally isolated.”

Big Blue North is nestled in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains of scenic Central New York. Yet, we are just five miles off the New York State Thruway, and easily accessible in less than six hours by car, bus and train from NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Montreal and Toronto. The Syracuse International Airport is located just 45 minutes to our west along the NYS Thruway, and The Albany International Airport is 90 minutes to the east along the NYS Thruway. Big Blue North has a free on-site parking lot for six cars and The Fort has an attached garage for secure overnight parking.
