Air travel to Schroon Lake, NY

The easiest international airport to travel into is the Albany (New York) international airport, which is approximately one hour south of The Lodge at Schroon Lake. Arriving and Departing flights are readily available at the Albany airport.

Conference attendees can also consider flying into Boston Logan International Airport, or Newark (New Jersey) International Airport, but those are both approximately four hours away from Schroon Lake and would take substantial car travel time to reach the conference venue.

Transportation:

Rental cars are readily available from the Albany Airport.

The Lodge at Schroon Lake has a shuttle available for transportation as well. The shuttle costs $550 total for round trip transportation to and from the Albany airport. The shuttle can accommodate 10 travelers, meaning a full shuttle is $55/person, but would be substantially more if it is not full. If multiple attendees of Neurospora 2025 want to coordinate purchasing a shuttle, please contact Schroon Lake for details on purchasing this shuttle option.

For those interested in carpooling to Neurospora 2025, either offering a seat in a rental/personal car or to request to carpool with other attendee(s), please sign up on this spreadsheet to get in touch for ride sharing. Please share cell phone numbers via direct messaging only after you have agreed to ride together.

From the Albany airport, take the Northway (87N) to exit 27. Go north on 9N for 4 miles and the Schroon Lake Lodge will be on your right.
