The Northway doesn't have any real service areas like the Thruway, where you can get hot food, real coffee and fuel. But it has a few good rest stops that offer vending machines and clean bathrooms. Parking areas are just that, maybe a porta-potty but usually just a place to rest for a couple minutes. The two newest ones, built just south of Exit 30 and called the High Peaks Reception Area, are fairly elaborate and almost worth a stop to check them out. You'll probably have to stop just before the southbound one cause our over-extended customs agents love to put checkpoints there which cause fatal accidents!

| 15.4 | 9 & 10 | Clifton Park Rest Area 518-371-3763 |
Recently rebuilt, offers good bathrooms, a state trooper substation, some vending machines and a big counter manned by the local firm full of all sorts of handbills, maps and pamphlets from local and Adirondack merchants. Lot is very bare and no shade and not very scenic either. Definitely a place you don't want to tarry long in the sun. |
