From the state of Maine, Route 302 west is probably the
most direct route from the Portland area. It joins Route 16 in North Conway, and
we are just 6 miles north of North Conway on Route 16.
From up north many folks follow Route 2 west through
Bethel and on to Gorham, NH, where they pick up Route 16 south. We are about 20
minutes south of Gorham, NH.
From mid-Maine, the Maine Turnpike to the Gray exit over
to Route 302 west in North Windham might work well also. Please take a look at a

When in North Conway
NOTE: North Conway is a popular destination for tax-free
outlet shopping, dining, and lodging. There can sometimes be traffic congestion
for those who travel Route 16 through Conway and North Conway in July and
August. However, since construction of the North-South Road, which runs from the
light by Wal-Mart on Route 302 to Kearsarge St. in North Conway, traffic along
the "strip" has been moving very smoothly, with the exception of rainy days when
many people go shopping!
To access the North-South Road from Route 16 while
heading north, turn right just after Burger King at the bottom of the "strip."
At the second light, turn left onto the North-South Road. At the end of the
North-South Road, turn left. At the light at the bottom of the street, turn
right back onto Routes 16 and 302. Story Land is 6 miles north of North Conway
on Route 16.
The construction of improvements to Route 16, mainly in
North Conway village, are scheduled for completion early this summer. The road
crews and traffic managers do a wonderful job of keeping the cars flowing
smoothly, and we'll have a terrific new roadway very soon when the work is
completed. A little road improvement can't take away from a load of family fun!
NEW IN 2007: Village Trolley is a new service with
numerous scheduled stops daily at Story Land from North Conway, so you can leave
your car at your motel and ride the trolley to the park for $2 per person each
way.
Heading South from Quebec, through Vermont
Connect with Route 55 south in the Province of Quebec and
cross the border onto Interstate 91 in Derby Line, Vermont. Stay on I-91 into
St. Johnsbury, and then take the exit onto Interstate 93 heading south. Travel
on I-93 into New Hampshire, to exit 40 in Bethlehem. At exit 40 turn onto Route
302 east, and stay on Route 302 east for close to 35 miles into Bartlett and
Glen. At the junction of Routes 302 and 16 there is a stoplight, a Dairy Queen,
and an Irving gas station at the intersection. Turn left onto Route 16 north --
