Things To Do

Lake George Steamboat Company

The best cruise of Lake George that you could ask for, offering both lunch and dinner cruises on their 3 boats, The Lac Du Saint Sacrement (Largest), Minne Ha Ha, and Mohican (Sallest).

Fort William Henry Museum and Restoration

Located right on the water in the village, near mini golf and casual food restaurants. Simulates the blast of a cannon everyday at noon!

Million Dollar Beach

The beach at the southernmost end of the lake, located right outside of the village. Parking is $10/car!

Magic Forest

A great place to bring the family (Good for babies to teens!). Over the past year, Magic Forest has transformed into the Lake George Expedition Park, completely revamping the grounds, and incorporating the VERY cool new dinosaur-themed Dino Roar Valley.

Shepard Park

Located directly in Lake George Village, this is a sweet little area to walk around after doing some shopping in the village. Located at the park is an amphitheater with nightly live music, the Shepard Park Beach, and the Lake George Pier. Grab a drink next door on the water at the Lake George Beach Club!

Prospect Mountain Diner

One of our absolute favorites. This diner, unlike many other restaurants in Lake George, is open year-round instead of just seasonally, so it has the local stamp of approval. The diner also shares a parking lot with the bowling alley!

Lake George Battlefield Park

A beautiful, open, 35-acre park adjacent to the park. It was a battleground in both the French & Indian war and the Revolutionary war!

Adirondack Winery

Adirondack Pub & Brewery

Martha's Dandee Creme

So you might be thinking that traveling 7 miles for ice cream is a little much with all the ice cream right in LG Village, but it's worth it! One of the Top 10 Ice Cream Parlors in the US & Featured on The Today Show!

The Outlets at Lake George

Some good-old fashion, in-store shopping, but with outlet prices!

Kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboard rentals!

Lake George Boat Rental

Top of the World Golf Resort

Located on the opposite side of the lake as the Erlowest, the Top of the World Golf Course has truly beautiful views for a round!

Prospect Mountain Summit

You can hike this or drive up! This is a popular and moderately difficult hike. It is steep in spots, and you *must* have sneakers. The trail is only 1.5mi from trail head to summit, but don't let that fool you, it will have you out of breath! It has an amazing 100-mile view of Lake George, the neighboring lakes, and various mountains around. A car ride to the top costs $10/car, and there are picnic areas, a pavillion, and bathrooms. This is the address where the trail starts if you plan on hiking. You can park right on the road, then walk across the bridge: 75 Smith St, Lake George, NY 12845 PLEASE NOTE: There is little to NO cell service while hiking. Be sure to follow the trail markers and pack BUG SPRAY, water, snacks, basic first aid supplies, and a flash light. *hikers pro tip: bugs like scents. if you've used shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant, or other bath products, the bugs may like you.*

Buck Mountain Trailhead

For those of you looking to put your hiking skills to good use, Buck mtn is a popular one! This difficult hike is about 3.0 miles to the top, with several lookout areas. Gloria has hiked this mountain 5 times!! PLEASE NOTE: There is little to NO cell service while hiking.
