Your Free Lake George Area Travel Guide
The Lake George Area Travel Guide is your free, official resource for planning an unforgettable trip to New York’s Adirondacks, published by Warren County Tourism, which is the only government-sponsored destination marketing organization for the Lake George Area. Whether you’re drawn to the lake’s sparkling shoreline in summer, the blazing foliage of fall, the ski slopes of winter, or the first wildflowers of spring, this guide has you covered for every season. Inside, you’ll find top attractions, curated itineraries, dining picks, outdoor adventures, and places to stay.
What’s Inside the Lake George Area Travel Guide
The guide opens with a detailed regional map and a Getting Here section, then moves into the area’s top attractions before covering events and activities across all four seasons — winter, spring, summer fun, including fireworks; and fall leaf peeping throughout the region.
From there, the guide takes you through the Lake George Area activity by activity. A dedicated waterways section covers paddling, cruising, parasailing, rafting and tubing, fishing, and the region’s beaches. For land and snow, you’ll find skiing and snowboarding, cycling, golf, and even riding and rodeo. The outdoor adventure section goes further with hiking trails, ziplines, hot air balloon rides, and scenic drives deep into the Adirondacks.
History and culture are well represented, with sections on haunted happenings, historical locales, the art scene, live music venues, and creative spaces. A shopping section covers outlets, malls, and local gift shops. The food and drink chapters are among the guide’s most distinctive — featuring Dock-n-Dine on the waterfront, seasonal Igloo Dining, a local food truck scene, and a full roundup of ice bars, breweries, wineries, and distilleries.
A lodging section covers a wide range of places to stay throughout the Lake George Area. The guide closes with four custom itineraries: one for families, one for travelers with pets, one for solo visitors, and one for couples.
