Lake George Parasailing

Parasailing lifts riders above Lake George for a view of the lake and surrounding Adirondack mountains that isn't available from a boat or the shoreline. A couple of operators run parasailing trips on the lake, giving visitors a straightforward way to book a ride regardless of prior experience.

How Parasailing Works on Lake George

Parasailing trips are towed behind a boat, lifting riders into the air attached to a parachute-style canopy rather than requiring any active paddling, steering, or physical exertion once you're airborne. This makes it accessible to a wide range of visitors, including first-timers who've never tried an aerial water activity before. Rides typically run a set length per trip, with options to ride solo, in tandem, or in small groups depending on the boat and equipment used by a given operator.

Choosing a Parasailing Trip

A couple of operators run parasailing trips on Lake George, and details like ride length, maximum height, weight limits, and pricing can vary between them. Checking directly with a specific operator before booking is worth doing if you have a particular height or duration in mind, since these details aren't standardized across every parasailing trip on the lake.
