Hey GHFromAltonBay -

From New Jersey we take Tappan Zee, to 684, to 84, to Mass Pike, to 290, 495, to 3 (Nashua) into 293 then 93.

We usually hit traffic getting onto the Mass Pike, the Big Left Hand exit from 290 onto 495, and then sometimes near Concord. We have always been on the North End, so we just took 93 all the way up to 94. This is our first time renting on the Southern End of the lake.

Looking forward to learning all about Alton, West Alton, Gilford, etc.

Thanks

Joe, I have lived in Wolfeboro 24/7/365 since 2002, but since I started driving in 1966, I've made the trip up 93 to the Alton Circle at least 500 times (and I've also taken Rte 3 from 495 to the Everett Turnpike to 93 N. of Manchester many times, and 495 to 95 at Newbury and then 95 to Spaulding Tpk to Route 11 at Rochester, as well).

My conclusion after all that driving? It doesn't make any difference. Any way you go can be slow on a bad day. I would avoid 140 from exit 20 to Alton at all costs, because both the terrain and the road conditions are poor.
Otherwise, it really makes very little difference.
