I managed to find Cornwall easily enough on my first dual cross country this weekend. Am planning to go back solo this Saturday. Was a great airport with friendly staff.
This is a good place to clear Canada Customs flying to Ottawa from Boston or New York (during normal business hours only). It's a small, uncontrolled airport, but it does have a non-precision instrument approach, and you can use the TAF for Massena, NY (KMSS), right across the St. Lawrence River. When I stopped on Valentine's Day 2008 on my way home from Boston, the Unicom was staffed and helpful, and the runway, taxiway, and apron were all clear, despite a heavy snowfall the day before.
The flight school at Cornwall has two twins (Seminoles) and can help you get your multi and IFR ratings, and has an examiner on staff for efficient, no-nonsense IFR renewals. There are two non-precision approaches to this airport.

Radio svc is good for an a/p this size. Great stop while heading down the scenic St. Lawrence.
