Best Way from Jersey to the Lake - hands down
After 49 (gulp) years of heading north, I know we have found the best way from Jersey to Alton. It is a variation on some of the routes listed here, but this one is the shortest, fastest and easiest all around:
Over George Washington Bridge to Henry Hudson Parkway
Turns into Sawmill River Parkway
Exit 4 – Cross County/Hutchinson River Parkway
Follow Hutch north to Merritt
Exit 68 E to Rt. 91N
Exit 29 to Rt. 84
Exit 3A to Rt. 20 (exit right before the Turnpike so you miss all the traffic)
To Rt. 290 towards Worcester
Rt. 290 ends @ Rt. 495. Take left Exit 26B to 495N
Exit 33 to Rt. 4
Left @ end of ramp
Left to Rt. 3N – turns into Everett Turnpike N/Rt. 293. Rt. 293 turns into 93N
Exit 15E to 393E
At circle, ¾ around to 28N
At next “circle”, ¾ around onto 28N to Rt 11W
