There is so much to do in this area when it's raining…you can still have loads of fun!We asked our Facebook fans what they would do on a rainy day, and these are their answers:

Lake George is beautiful, even in the rain, so take time to soak it all up. Park yourself in front of a window overlooking the lake, whether it be from you hotel lobby, restaurant on the lake, or (if you're lucky enough to have one) your own lake-view room... and let the creativity flow! Pen some poetry, journal your travels, or simply relax with a book and a cup of coffee.

Although, if you are vacationing in Lake George with kids, relaxation may not be an option - even on a rainy day. So get out and do something! Below are some attractions and things to do in Lake George in the rainy weather.

Activities!

P.S. For those traveling without kids, these are also great places to fill your glass! Too early in the day to go wild? Head over to the Adirondack Winery and try your tongue at a wine-tasting.

Day Trips!

One of Lake George’s many draws is its location – near a lake, surrounded by mountains, and near many other exciting parts of the Capital Region where it may not be as wet! Pile into the car and go on a day-trip to Lake Placid, Warrensburg, and more destinations. Think of it as a vacation within a vacation!
