best route from Syracuse to Lake Placid
I would like a route where I won't have to keep stopping to ask for directions, as happened to me last year with the standard Rte 81 Rte 3 approach. Also, I don't like extremely twisty-turny routes. I'd like to find a route that is reasonably quick and fairly easy driving.

I am considering this alternate route: I-90, NY-365, NY-8. Opinions?

Thank you.

The scenic route past many lakes includes Rts. 28, 28N to 30 at Long Lake and 3 from Tupper to Saranac. At 194 miles it is the shortest even though it takes longer than the I-81 route.
