The Hidden Meadow Inn is located about 15 minutes from Massena or Potsdam, about 20 minutes to Canton, about 30 minutes from Ogdensburg or Canada and 1 mile to canoe carry on the Raquette River.

If you want to try out the river, bring your canoe or kayak and life jackets and we'll point you in the right direction!

From Potsdam... go north on Rt. 56 to Norfolk. Just past the Main Street Bridge (which is under construction), turn left (on to High Street) at the post office. Turn left at the next intersection (on to Furnace Street). Turn right at the next intersection (on to Main Street). Go three blocks (just before Sabad's Restaurant) and turn left on to Sober Street. Go one mile. Our house is 1950 on the left. The number is on the mailbox (we don't have a sign erected just yet).

From Watertown, take Rt. 11 north to Canton. At the light at the T where Rt. 11 joins with Rt. 68, you will see Cascade Inn right in front of you. Turn right on to Main Street (you will still be on Rt. 11 North).

From here there are two options.

1. You can drive through Canton, NY. As you do drive through town until you see the Best Western on the right and the P & C on the left. Turn left at that light on to Rt. 310 North. Go about 15 miles. You will be on a good country road with only one stoplight at the village of Madrid. Keep going straight. After the Madrid stoplight you have another 6 miles before you turn right on to Rt 34. Go 2 miles. When the speed limit changes to 35, you will see Visitation Cemetery on the right just before a small dip in the road. You will see the Welcome to Norfolk sign there, just before you see Sabad's Restaurant on the right. Right after that is Sober Street. Turn right and go one mile. The house is on the left (1950).

2. If you don't want to go through Canton, you can take a shortcut by following these directions. From Watertown, take Rt. 11 north to Canton. At the light at the T where Rt. 11 joins with Rt. 68, you will see Cascade Inn right in front of you. Turn right on to Main Street (you will still be on Rt. 11 North). Turn left at the very next light on to Rt. 27 (Riverside Drive). Turn Right on to State Street (be sure not to take a hard right as that will put you on Chapel Street). State Street angles over to Rt. 310 North. Turn left at the stop sign on to Rt. 310 North. Go about 15 miles. You will be on a good country road with only one stoplight at the intersection of Rt. 345 at Madrid. Keep going straight until you see the green Norfolk sign. Turn right on to Rt 38. Go 2 miles.
