From northern New Jersey, Fort Edward, N.Y., is a straight shot up I-287 and I-87 north of Albany, about 3½ hours from Morristown. Depending on interests, there are several useful exits from the Interstate.
Routes 146 and 67 reach the Hudson south of Stillwater and the Saratoga Battlefield. Route 29, Lake Avenue, skims the outskirts of Saratoga Springs on the west, and hits the river at Schuylersville.
Having gone in and out of fashion, Saratoga Springs is again the regional hub, with its spas, terrible water, pleasant cafés, arts district and race meeting that this year runs July 23 through Labor Day. Oh yes, it's also the home of Trey Anastasio of Phish.
Farther north, Saratoga Road to Route 197 crosses the river into the Village of Fort Edward, nestled in the northern end of its municipality.
