Lakes to Locks Passage
The Lakes to Locks Passage in the United States and the corresponding Route du Richelieu in Canada form a scenic byway network located in northeastern New York and southern Quebec. This byway connects a series of water routes including the upper Hudson River, Champlain Canal, Lake George, and Lake Champlain. This network is part of a historically significant transportation route linking upstate New York with the Canadian province of Quebec.
In the United States, the Lakes to Locks Passage is designated as a New York State Scenic Byway, a National Scenic Byway, and an All-American Road. The Canadian portion, known as Route du Richelieu, is recognized by the Quebec Ministry of Tourism as a tourist route.
The Lakes to Locks Passage and Route du Richelieu initiatives aim to promote and integrate these routes as a unified travel destination.
The Lakes to Locks Passage extends from just north of Albany to near the Canada–US border at Rouses Point in New York. The route includes both a highway and a waterway, with the waterway continuing north into Canada and connecting with the St. Lawrence River.
The region's history is reflected in the diverse influences of French, English, and Dutch settlers, which can be seen in the architecture and cultural heritage of the communities along the rivers, waterfalls, and lakeshores. Along the byway, 32 designated Waypoint Communities offer various local attractions and services. These communities have established museums and other points of interest that function as Heritage Centers for the Lakes to Locks Passage. Additionally, many communities provide options for driving, biking, or walking tours to explore the area.
The Lakes to Locks Passage extends from the junction of U.S. Route 4 (US 4) and New York State Route 32 (NY 32) in Waterford, New York, to the intersection of U.S. Route 11 (US 11) and New York State Route 9B (NY 9B) in Rouses Point, New York. The route includes both highway and waterway sections. The waterway route continues into Canada and connects with the St. Lawrence River.

The Lakes to Locks Passage also includes scenic lakeside roads on Point Au Roche and Cumberland Head, which are noted as "Scenic Byways."
