7 Unique Things to Do in Lake George: Activities You Can’t Miss
From the rhythmic chuff of a 19th-century steam engine to paddling the rails over the Hudson, we've rounded up seven must-do, unique activities in the Lake George region to include on your next visit.
Take a lake cruise on the Minne-Ha-Ha with the Lake George Steamboat Company, one of the last liquid-steam powered paddle wheelers in America.
Pedal the rails with Revolution Rail Co. The North Creek run takes you over a high-altitude trestle bridge directly over the Hudson River.
Experience the Sagamore ice bar in the winter. Everything from the bar itself to the sofas and intricate sculptures is carved from crystal-clear ice.
Try your hand at mini golf, because Lake George is the mini-golf capital of the world. Around the World Golf was designed by a world-renowned course architect and features actual artifacts from different countries.
Explore the lesser visited, eastern side of the lake, particularly Shelving Rock Falls, a hidden gem of a massive waterfall that cascades into a series of mountain pools just steps from the lake.
Witness a cannon blast from Fort William Henry. You can watch a live musket-loading demonstration, or watch a cannon fire over the lake. For added fun, take one of their Haunted History tours.
Drive the 100-mile view at Prospect Mountain. It’s not only a cool view from the mountain that you can access from driving or hiking, but it’s also the site of the former Prospect Mountain Incline Railway, which was the largest cable railroad in the world when it was built.
