Shop, Sip & Stroll Around Lake George
November is prime time for shopping, especially as holiday deals start popping up. Wander around the unique shops in the Village like A Christmas to Remember, or explore the Lake George Outlets for great savings on top brands.
If you're in the Outlets, carve out time to pop into The Candy Space, a great spot to pick up stocking stuffers! If you have kids with you, have them fill up a rocket with candy and watch as it's launched into "space."
After shopping, meet up with a friend and wind down with a wine tasting at Adirondack Winery’s Lake George Tasting Room, or try Ledge Rock Hill Winery, which also has a location in the Village.
Embrace Early Winter Adventures
Bundle up for a horse-drawn carriage ride with Caldwell Carriage Company through the Village. This is a picturesque way to see Lake George at any time of year.
If the weather’s mild, November can be a beautiful time for a winter hike. Trails like Prospect Mountain, Shelving Rock Falls, and Buck Mountain offer crisp air and clear views, possibly before snow covers the landscape.
