Unsurprisingly an outdoor camp feel but well kept insides. The bathroom has 4 hand dryers. Wow for a rural area. Works great for last minute big groups. This center is near Lake Placid which has a USA Olympic Training Center. Another fully equipped rest area seems about 30 miles north. This explains a lot. Must be beautiful but isolating and serene here with the basics and minimal distractions. Also, not a lot of gas in mountainous Adirondacks and no gas at this rest area. I think I saw 1-3 stations on I-87 so far.

It has a dog run and playground outside as well.

There were lots of locally made treats in vending machines and I got the macaroons which came out nice and chilled. There was a nice staff member there who helped everyone out with the vending machines too. There was some "I heart NY" merch in shirts and mugs too. I'd love if they added Adirondack merch too though. Lots of seating, Adirondack-style chairs to stretch your legs out on if you're taking a break from driving. There is also a kids playground and a dog area as well as a small area for everyone else to walk around. Overall, it was a great and easy stop!

It also had a now old-school area full of tourist brochures and free seasonal tourist magazines for things in the region. My mom would always love collecting these on our drives, I somehow resisted the temptation this time. Would have been 5 stars but the parking spots are the dumb angled ones and the cleanliness wasn't quite what you find on the NYS Thruway. Still a nice rest stop compared to what you'll find on most of America's toll-free interstate highways. I think the hand soap was even the moisturizing kind! Wow.

It has just a Dunkin and a Green Apple convenience store inside and a Mobil gas station outside. The bathroom was clean and looked pretty new, which led me to a curious observation. The men's room had none of the hot air hand dryers that have been common for the last decade or so. They didn't even have a paper towel dispenser on the wall. The only option for drying my hands was a roll of paper towels standing upright on a sink. Kind of bizarre, don't you think?

This is yet another example of absolutely awful price hikes and upcharging and price gouging at rest areas. Every Fast Food Outlet in here is massively overpriced, some more than others. Coffee is almost twice the price it is supposed to be. The gas here is anywhere from $0.10 to $0.40 more expensive than it would be off the highway, but off-highway gas is kind of a no-go because you have to pay extra in tolls to get off and on the highway again, nearly negating the difference. Not to mention waiting at the toll booth oftentimes, costing you several minutes. They know the majority aren't going to do that and they upcharge you accordingly. Grr. So they really screw you over with this toll road and these plazas. Now they are good for stopping and resting and sleeping, pretty safe with all the trucks around, and they have pretty decent facilities, but having said that, the service at a lot of these little places is awful. And perhaps worst of all, if you nap for too long, then when you try to get off and pay your toll, you could well get the third degree about being on the Thruway for too long and they could accuse you of trying to cheat the system. Good times all around.

It is a mirror image of the northbound stop, with log cabin looks outside, and restrooms and vending machines inside. Minimalist approach, but stuck in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. Can't do better than this on the East Coast unless you are in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Note - The North area was already on Yelp as I passed through, and I did not think to add the South area until returning home. It is there now, and my comments for the North are equally applicable for the South. I stopped both coming and going. It is in North Hudson, NY. Can't explain how Yelp got it as Manhattan??
