Lake and river adventures
Waterski, wakeboard, parasail, windsurf, scuba dive or take a cruise on Lake George — the Queen of American Lakes or experience the ever-popular Million Dollar Beach. Canoe, sail, kayak, tube, raft, fish, swim or sunbathe at your leisure at any of the region’s 20 plus lakes or along the Schroon, Hudson or Sacandaga Rivers.
Experience the Wild West in the Northeast
Spectators can witness either a jackpot or professional rodeo featuring calf and team roping, barrel racing and steer wrestling at one of the area’s three rodeos. For other excitement, enjoy some authentic Texas-style barbeque and dust off your cowboy boots for some live country-western music and dancing.
Whitewater for all
The waters of summer are calmer, which creates the perfect opportunity for families to have a fun and memorable raft or tubing adventure together. From younger kids to Grandma and Grandpa, fill the raft or rent a tube with any relative ready to gear up for some fun!
Golfers Paradise
Anyone looking to improve their swing, or just to show it off, will find their niche in one of the area’s nine fabulous golf resorts. If you’re more of a putt-putt kind of golfer, there are also eight mini-golf courses to choose from!
Cruises
Hop on one of many cruise ships and take a tour of Lake George. Take in the scenery while eating brunch, lunch or dinner; enjoy a romantic moonlit ride; and don’t miss the fireworks cruises taking place through the entire months of July and August.
Go Wild!
Play laser tag, paintball, billiards and arcade games; go bowling and roller or inline skating; race go-carts; visit a haunted house or wax museum. Scream upside down on a roller coaster and escape the heat on a thrilling water slide. The region’s ten indoor amusement centers, six arcades and five outdoor fun parks leave you with no excuse to be bored.
Sky rides
Take a gondola ride up Gore Mountain, experience the first form of flight in a hot air balloon or take a scenic airplane ride — all offer breathtaking views of the rolling landscape of the beautiful Southern Adirondack Mountains and well beyond.
Shopping
Bargain hunters find their bliss at the Factory Outlets of Lake George, offering over 70 stores with savings of 20-70% off retail prices. If antiquing is more your flavor, the town of Warrensburg is full of quaint antique shops brimming with undiscovered treasures. For a complete Adirondack shopping experience, visit Sutton’s Marketplace in Queensbury. Famous for its impeccably designed Adirondack-style furniture, it has something for everyone — a clothing boutique, country café, and a toy cottage.
