The Northway doesn't have any real service areas like the Thruway, where you can get food, coffee and fuel. But it has a few good rest stops that offer vending machines and clean bathrooms. The two newer ones, built just south of Exit 30, 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 and cause fatal accidents too!

Lake George Parking Area |
It has no facilities, trucks or picnic tables, but a great view of Lake George. I's a very uncomfortable and small place. You should get off at Exit 21 if you want to relax a while
