I-68 is the main highway in the area, passing by east-west to the north of the lake. Depending on what part of the lake you are going to, it should take about 15–30 minutes to get from highway exit 14A for the Garrett Hwy US-219. At that same exit, the northbound route along US-40 goes straight to downtown Pittsburgh. US-219 is also the main route heading south into the West Virginia panhandle.
