Ogdensburg car rental driving guide
Driving in and around Ogdensburg
Ogdensburg’s small-city atmosphere comes with peaceful roads to match, so it’s easy to drive around the area in a hire car.
Driving from the airport to the centre takes less than ten minutes and the route couldn’t be simpler – just follow State Street (NY-812) north, crossing a single junction.
Park your hire car at Morissette Park for easy access to the city’s best attractions, including Fort de la Presentation site and Frederic Remington Art Museum.
West of the Oswegatchie River you’ll discover a collection of passionate local businesses – especially on Main Street.
Patterson Street Boat Launch is set on the banks of the mighty river that spans two nations. Head here for great views of the Ogdensburg Prescott International Bridge, where the border is located.
Highway 37 is a scenic route running parallel to the water – in the north-east, it winds towards Red Mills, lush Galop Island, plus towns such as Waddington, Louisville and Massena. Drive south-west to find Chippewa Bay and Alexandria Bay.
Away from the border, Highway 812 leads into the heart of St Lawrence County. Take a road trip to discover villages saturated with rural American spirit, such as Rensselaer Falls, which is home to the Indian Creek Nature Center.
For New York’s beautiful wilderness, join Highway 11, then follow one of several byways leading south into the magic.
Highway 30 leads from Malone to the edge of High Peaks Wilderness, where Mount Marcy stands tall between the lakes. The remote state of Vermont is 183 miles east of Ogdensburg.
Prefer city life? Journey from Ogdensburg to Syracuse by using NY-37 to reach Interstate 81. The journey takes a little over two hours. From here, Interstate 90 winds south of the forested region to Albany, the state capital.

A quick guide to Ogdensburg
Aquatic wonder
Saint Lawrence River is a magnificent place to catch your breath, with beautiful views of Canada. It is home to plenty of native species – including beavers, bald eagles, turtles and osprey.
Go boating on the waters near Ogdensburg – there is a handy boat park near the Dobisky Center – to soak up the scenery. If you prefer to be immersed, there is a public swimming pool set in Morissette Park.
Several local businesses offer kayaking tours of the local waterways. Many are suitable for beginners and families and leave from the Oswegatchie Boat Launch.
Or, try your hand at fishing. Some of the best fishing locations are located upstream in leafy corners of Wellesley Island State Park and Swan Bay Resort, so load up the hire car with rods and bait.
Old West art
The Frederic Remington Art Museum is Ogden’s premier attraction – even if you’re venturing out of town, it’s well worth swinging by in the hire car.
The centre celebrates the depictions of the Old West by Frederic Remington, a New York man whose paintings and bronzes feature cowboys, soldiers and Native Americans.
The exhibitions at this museum include many photographs he took for research and the items collected from travels out west.
The Albert Priest Newel Gallery is home to some of the best-known sculptures from Remington’s later years, while the Addie Priest Newell Gallery shows a combination of rare North Country watercolours and personal memorabilia.
Forested wilderness
The New York border region is home to incredible wilderness, where evergreen trees stretch for more than a hundred miles.
Discover some of the best scenic drives and hiking trails in New York State here. Five Ponds Wilderness is a beautiful wetland area.
Tupper Lake is one of the largest villages, featuring a boat club. It’s a great place to stop on the way to the magnificent High Peaks Wilderness, where you can try mountain hiking or simply soak up the views.
Mount Marcy is the highlight for advanced hikers, but other peaks such as Mount Colden, Algonquin Peak and Cascade Mountain also boast impressive surrounds.
