Lake George and the
surrounding Adirondack Mountains offer fishing, hiking, swimming and boating. |
Here's what the article
has to say about all there is to do in Lake George, New York:
"If
you’re the kind of parent who worries about your own creativity in the
let’s-have-fun-department, Lake George is for you. There’s so much to do
here; you won’t have to engage in much brain storming. Proximity to the Adirondacks
means easy access to hiking and mountain biking. But many of the area’s activities
occur on the lake itself. Your children can swim, tube, fish, sail, water ski and
parasail all day, or take a cruise on an old-fashioned steamboat if they get tired.
(Translation: If you get tired.)
As if that weren’t enough, your kids
can haul you to the Great Escape and Splashwater
Kingdom. Apart from the usual run of gut churning rides, the true star of the park is
the Comet, often rated the top wooden roller coaster in the world. If the weather takes a
turn for the worse, there’s laser tag, go carts and good old-fashioned roller-skating
at the Skateland Family Fun Center. Or ride the roller coaster motion simulator at the
charmingly retro Magic Castle, right smack in town.
Lake
George has a rich Colonial and Revolutionary history. Teach your kids about the French and
Indian War at Fort William Henry, a reconstructed fort staffed by folks in period garb. Or
recreate a moment from the American Revolution at “impregnable” Fort
Ticonderoga, which was captured with relative ease by British general John Burgoyne in
1777.
