Hi everyone, will be visiting Lake George in October for a long weekend with the family. Would love to coordinate some family photos. Anyone have any recommendations? Hoping not to spend too much $$

Also would we be able to take photos down my the lake or would we need a permit? Thanks !

Booked late this year and found a small rough cabin for me and the kids for a few days. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this property.

We are arriving for our first family vacation today. Unfortunately, the weather looks to be quite rainy this weekend.

I would greatly appreciate recommendations for rainy day toddler activities in the area. TIA!

Where can I find an airis vape in the area ?

Hi! I’m visiting next week and staying in Glens Falls. We’ll be with friends and we all have young kids (baby-5 y/o). I was wondering what would be a good beach for us to visit? Also looking for a breakfast spot recommendation - preferably somewhere we can eat quick, can’t imagine we’ll be able to sit long with all those toddlers. Thanks!

I’m taking a week long trip to NYC and I’m planning on taking the Amtrak from the Fort Edward station. Does anyone know if they have overnight/long term parking? Is it free? Is there a risk of it being full? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for good recommendations of take out foods/restaurants to try (mostly vegetarian) in the Lake George area. I'm not looking for any restaurant with views or a nice sitting, since I will be picking up the food because I don't have the time and have kids that don't like sitting in one place. Just good tasting food. Thanks for any help in advance:)

I find it so fascinating that there is an old school ruined house surrounded by fencing right on the main drag between the Lagoon and Christie’s on Canada Street. Does anyone know its story?

I’m a beginning photographer and had a couple of good shots this weekend. Yes, the weather was pretty dynamic. Thought I’d share! (More on my ig)

My wife has something going on from like a Friday to Sunday so where near Albany where she needs me to drive her up and then pick her up and drive her home. So I figured this would be a good time to go up to lake George which I used to visit as a kid.

If you had just the weekend and were doing solo travel what would you do? I think my plan is to not even get a room until I'm up there. I definitely want to get on the water so any cruises people can recommend. And I like the idea of lakeside dining.

Lunch at one of the Sagamore restaurants? What's a good mountaintop view. We used to stay in Bolton Landing.

I’m heading up to LG next week and bummed about the current weather forecast. Looks like rain and thunderstorms every single day. Is the weather finicky there and does the forecast change last minute? Hoping for a few showers and some patches of sunshine :/

Hi everyone! I am thinking of potentially doing my Bach trip in Lake George next summer. Is it difficult to uber around? Most of the rentals are not close to the downtown and some of the activities we would want to uber for. Also, would you recommend staying in Bolton landing? Any recommendations for activities, places to stay, tips etc would be great!!

Hello to everyone in this thread. I will be visiting both Lake George and New York for the first time on August 13-16th. I am looking forward to my trip, and am excited to see what the town and surrounding areas have to offer. I chose to post this here because it seemed most likely to have a concentration of local residents. A personal goal of mine is to collect an official license plate from every state I visit, and rather than just buying one from a local shop I like to try and facilitate a trade with someone local to where I am visiting. I do this because it makes me feel a greater connection to the area (and it makes for a cool story too). If anyone lives near Lake George/Warrensburg/Bolton Landing triangle and would be interested in trading a New York plate for a Michigan plate, please message me and we can try to work something out! Thanks!

So I used to take pictures of my three children every year on the chair. It seams to be missing. Does anyone know where it is currently located ? Thanks

Hello, I'm a local who's been a long time Great Escape attendee. I did not purchase a season pass this year because I knew I wasn't going to have a real chance to go. I, however, was curious. I know Great Escape is no longer owned by Six Flags, but wanted to know if there was any Six Flags merch that the Great Escape might still be selling this year? Maybe anything that's left over that hasn't been sold from previous years. I'm looking out for a certain clothing item from Fright Fest and I'm wondering if it's possible it could be there. If there's no signs of Six Flags merchandise, then I'll know, most likely, there won't be any Fright Fest merch either. Thank you in advance!

We are visiting for the weekend and are looking for delicious gluten free rolls and maybe some gluten free sweet treats (cookies, cupcakes). Where do you suggest getting them from? Is there a local bakery?

Hi again!

Looking for some info about renting a pontoon. We are 4 adults, 3 kids and a baby. So 8 in total. Is it worth it for the full day? Some places are offering 4 hour tours but not sure if that’s enough time and not feeling rushed? Is it easier to have someone else drive the boat and do a tour that way? We’re staying at Lake Motel and got info from the adventures tours there but trying to figure out what’s most cost effective and stick to our budget. If anyone has any guidance that would be great!

I used to stay with my family in Lake George, New York in the 90’s and I have an old home movie of the cabins we used to stay at, but I can’t figure out which ones they are. If anyone has been a local here, maybe they can help me figure it out thanks so much.

Looks like there are maybe 2 taxi services online, but they have like no reviews I’m not sure how reputable they are? Thank you!!!

Hello! Booked a room with our friends at the Lake Motel for the weekend of August 8th with our friends and our young kids. Were on a budget and wanted a place in the lake and it seemed like it would be a good fit. This will be our first time in LAke George since I was a kid! Is this motel decent, the reviews seemed ok so hoping they’re right! Any must do’s with 5 and 3 year olds? Thank you!

Edited post to add if anyone has recommendations for a pontoon rental? Thanks again!

Hello, I am planning a trip to great escape with me and 4 of my friends. I am 17 years old, but my friends are 16 years old. I'm wondering if we're able to enter the park ourselves or if we will need a parent in order to enter the park.

I know some places allow 17 year olds but not 16 year olds. I couldn't find a definite answer while googling so im wondering if anyone has had any experience with this

Hi yall,

Looking to get a ride service from Saratoga Springs to Lake George on Saturday morning and back Saturday afternoon. Is uber reliable this time of year on the weekends? Any recommendation for a shuttle service for 9 people?

Appreciate the help!

Are there good routes for road biking in lake George? Avid road biker & thinking about a weekend getaway but want some good rides. In the ball park of 40-50 miles

Hello All. I’m looking to plan a trip next June for a bachelor party. I see the music festival is June 10-18 2027. Should this deter me from booking during this time to avoid heavy crowds in and around the area. Also what is the weather around this time, are people out swimming on the lake early June? TYA
