9 Great American Drives include Great Lakes Seaway Trail
 
Sackets Harbor, NY ­ All it takes is a car to enjoy 9 Great American Drives,
writes Brendan Spiegel in Budget Travel. The Great Lakes Seaway Trail is
among the nine routes that Spiegel says are well worth filling up your gas
tank to explore.
 
The 518-mile Great Lakes Seaway Trail byway ­ a series of signed roads
paralleling the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, Niagara River and Lake
Erie in New York and Pennsylvania ­ is listed second on the list of nine
touring routes after Vermont¹s Route 100.
 
Spiegel compares the freshwater shoreline byway to ³California¹s Route 1 -
minus the traffic.²
 
He lists Eisenhower Lock on the Saint Lawrence Seaway, 28 historic
lighthouses, Niagara Falls as part of the travel experience. He note that
camping, birdwatching and shipwreck diving are among notable activities on
the NY-PA byway and names the 3,200-acre Presque Isle State Park and its
beaches as a ³don¹t miss² site.
 
Spiegel¹s ³Trip tip² is to try exploring the Great Lakes Seaway Trail¹s new
GeoTrail using a GPS unit to locate natural and historic landmarks where 75
cache boxes are hidden.
 
Just last week Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company named the Great Lakes Seaway
Trail to its Top 50 Most Comfortable Touring Drives.
