you are going to be driving in the middle of nowhere. there aren't any cities on the way, let alone skate spots.

im assuming you are taking 89 and then 91 to ny. if so you could stop in burlington vt, there are a few street spots and a skatepark, its right off the highway and not much of a detour at all. locals could probably point you towards legit spots too

still not worth it. burlington is a small, small city with a mediocre park. you can either spend more time driving through the woods (vermont and western mass suck) and boring connecticut or save some time and gas and drive straight down.

how far down into NY are you going, there are some dope skateparks in the albany area, and some sick spots, lake george would probably be fun to cruise around in too

there will be a lot more skate spots going up the east coast. if you have the time and money, dont take 84 and cut through central connicticut. instead take 95 and drive through rhode island. there are many small skate parks their and also good beaches. once you get into mass, take 93 into boston and visit the city, then take route 1 back to i95 and continue up to rye airfields in rye nh, where you will find one of the biggest and best indoor skateparks on the east coast.  then you can go up to maine. i surf in scarborouh (just outside of portland) at higgins beach and scarborough beach. you might also want to check out portland. there are lots of street spots.

yeah as that dude said up there^ higgins and scarborough beaches (both in scarborough) have some decent surfing, but its better in the winter. Portlands definitley got some dope street spots just all over the city. skate around and you'll see em. also, stop in wells on your way up its further south than scarborough and shit they've got some dope surfing.

well should you choose to go down 87, there's an indoor park in glenns falls, an outdoor park in saratoga springs, i'm sure there are plenty of skate spots in albany, and then there's another indoor park down below the catskills. a quick search on google maps will reveal all of their locations. you also might have some luck in the regional forums.

hey if you're heading from montreal to NY, be sure to stop in toronto/mississauga area

hit up a few sick places if you wanna
the toronto ledges in the business area are FAMOUS, and for a good reason too, they're buttery, if theyre not blocked and security swamped
there's some other sick rails around if you're looking for big handrails, but i don't know much about downtown because i live in mississauga

as for some good park skating, iceland skatepark in missisisauga is where i used to skate mostly, its a really good street style park with some sick features

theres other small parks scattered around including a really good indoor one called the rail, google it, its near mississauga too

well i hope that helps, good luck

if you decide to go to maine and you go through rhode island, you will want to stop in a town called narragansett (Rhode Island). this town has a skate park and two sand beaches. there is also another skatepark in south kingstown, which is like 5 minutes away, and another one in jamestown, which is like 15 minutes from narragansett. but i will be in scarborough if you decide to go to maine.

if i were you, i would...

take 89 south to burlington.  burlington has some pretty dope city spots.  there is a skatepark on the waterfront which has some fun ramps, a horsehoe bowl, and some small rails and boxes.  there is a more legit indoor park in south burlington called talent, which has a ton of really fun features, a bowl, and two mini ramps (3 and 5 feet).there are also skateparks within a 10-15 minute drive from downtown burlington in colchester (really fun 4 foot mini), winooski (pretty haggard, nice euro-gap), and last year one was built in essex (some big x-games style shit and some small fun features).  all of these places are free (except talent, which is $8/session).

from burlington, drive 2 hrs south to rutland and check out flipside skatepark.  its indoors, and has a nice 4' mini with a spine and roller, as well as a bunch of ramps large and small). 

after you buy some crack in rutvegas, drive an hour southwest to manchester vermont.  they have a pretty nice 5' mini with a spine/roller, as well as some other features.  i havent been there in years but i remember it was pretty fun (albeit small).

1.5 hours west of manchester is saratoga springs, where you'll find a shitty, 20 year old park with metal and plywood ramps and a hairy swimming pool with no flat.

if you can avoid getting tetnus at the saratoga park, drive 20 minutes down RTE 87 and head to the new skatepark in clifton park.  much like the town itself, a majority of the park is prefabricated.

lastly, make sure you stop by the shelter in albany.  this place was built by one of my childhood friends, and the park is sick.  its indoors and has a really fun flow.  i haven't been there in years, but im sure its still dope as fuck.

once you leave albany, head south until you hit nyc.  make sure you stop before you get to new jersey (the armpit of america).  if you're worried about getting too close, just know that you can smell new jersey from at least 20 miles away.  it smells like nuclear waste and feet.

the best way to get to nyc from montreal involves going through north jersey. people on this site suck at geography. about 1/5 of jersey is north of nyc.
