Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Lakeshore Drive fronts Webster Lake within the Lakes Region town of Franklin. The area is residential and picturesque with lakefront homes, small public beaches/boat access nearby, wooded lots and seasonal recreational activity (boating, fishing, swimming in summer; ice fishing and snow activities in winter).

Regional attractions (hiking, ski areas, and larger Lakes Region destinations) are within 30–60 minutes.

Find us

The neighborhood is car-dependent but easily walkable for short lakeshore strolls. Route 11 (Lake Shore Drive connects directly to it) is the main local road for driving to nearby towns. Parking is generally available at private properties; limited public transit exists. Rideshare coverage may be intermittent — plan for a car rental or private transfer for visitors without a vehicle. Seasonal boat access provides on-water mobility for exploring Webster Lake and neighboring lakes.
