About this Location

Facility Overview

Visitor & Driver Tips

EV owners should note that while high-speed DC charging units are readily accessible, peak holiday weekends during summer and autumn leaf-peeping season can lead to intermittent queuing. When parking, keep driving lanes clear around the commercial bus turnaround zone and away from the active diesel fueling lanes. Drivers towing recreational boat trailers should utilize perimeter spaces along the outer edge of the asphalt to avoid blocking traffic circulating around the fuel canopy. In winter months, watch for localized icy patches common across open Adirondack surface lots.
