We had such a fantastic experience with Tubby Tubes River Co.! The whole trip was well-organized, safe, and a lot of fun. A special shoutout to our guides, Kira and Izzy who were super! Both were very friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time on the water. Their energy and professionalism really stood out and made the day extra enjoyable. I highly recommend Tubby Tubes to anyone looking for a fun and memorable river adventure. We’ll definitely be coming back when in the area again… if I had to complain about something, I just wish the trip was a little bit longer 😎

We really enjoyed tubing with Tubby Tubes ! Very clean and organized! They thought of everything! Bathrooms, snacks and changing facilities on site. It was a great way to spend a few hours relaxing. Would highly recommend and next time we are in Lake George would definitely do it again! Make sure you bring a water proof cell phone case. Zach our tour guide, Erin our bus driver and Laney were friendly and kind!

Communication was organized and efficient leading up to our tubing time. When we arrived the check in process was easy. Staff was very friendly and down to earth. Dawn our bus rider was amazing. The river was gorgeous, tubing was so much fun! There were plenty of guides to ensure everything went as it should. We were in a big group and 3 of us feel behind. One of the guides had us hold on to her kayak and got us to our group. The tubing portion was about 2 miles and we didn’t want to get out. Awesome time!

A visit to Lake Luzerne is incomplete without experiencing the Painted Pony Championship Rodeo, a cherished tradition and one of the oldest rodeos in the nation. Start your evening with a mouthwatering BBQ buffet featuring smoked chicken, ribs, coleslaw, and more. After satisfying your appetite, head over to enjoy thrilling western events like bareback bronc riding, steer wrestling, barrel racing, and bull riding.

First time at a rodeo and it was the best! Tickets were 22$ for the rodeo only but they had a BBQ before the rodeo which you pay extra for. There was plenty of activities to be seen during the rodeo. Bull riding, horse racing and numerous other activities. So worth it!!! Majority is cash only so bring cash.

Had a lot of fun with my family at this rodeo. Bbq beforehand was a great lunch and the 2pm show today (Thursday) was family friendly and very entertaining. The rodeo clown was funny and kept the kids engaged and entertained while still providing laughs for the adults too. The music choices were top notch, kept everybody dancing and dinging along. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Everyone we encoutered who worked there was friendly and seemed happy to be there.

Mountain View Rocking B Ranch (formerly Bennett's Riding Stable) offers an amazing experience for riders of all levels. The one-hour trail ride is described as beautiful, peaceful, and easygoing, making it perfect for first-time riders and experienced ones alike. The staff, including guides like Ella, John, and Joy, are highly praised for their friendliness, patience, and extensive knowledge about the horses and the area.
Best horseback riding experience! We have done a half dozen rides at different places in the US and Italy, and this was the best. The staff was friendly and attentive. They made sure we were comfortable and having a good time. Group was small and the ride was at a relaxing pace. And the horses were the best! All the horses were clam and easy to handle. No problem at all. Ride left on time and returned on time. We did the breakfast ride. Rode out to the to the breakfast site in the middle of forest and enjoyed eggs, beacon, hash browns and biscuits. Planning to go back and do the dinner ride!

I went for the two hour mountain ride. Everyone was respectful, accommodating and informative. I got to ride foxy. I was nervous with her at first, but than I think we both figured each other out and relaxed. She was a really great horse. Soo glad I got paired with her. The only slight negatives: Stay away from the porta potty if you can, I couldn't really hear what the guide was saying because I was in the back, and it did rain but I'd rather go in the rain than not at all. The guide we had was excellent because she listened, was friendly and was very knowledgeable.Even though I could not hear what was being said, at points, she made sure you heard anything that was important about riding; like putting your feet more in front when going down hill.she stopped every once in a while to make sure everyone was good. The fact that it rained was obviously beyond their control There was a window when we got to the top, stopped and we could see the fog clear and saw the beautiful mountains and lakes. Fantastic views. We got to enjoy the woods and the deer. All around fantastic ride. The horses seemed well taken care of.All of the staff from beginning to end were great. Thank you for everything you all did.

If you're looking to escape the busy city and get away from the stress and crowds, this is the perfect spot. Surrounded by nature and animals, it offers a peaceful and relaxing experience with stunning views and a simple yet delicious meal. This is a family-owned place with well-cared-for horses, and the love and dedication truly show. It’s absolutely worth the price and the experience. We did the Dinner Ride and can’t wait to come back for the Breakfast Ride soon!

This was a highlight of our trip to the Adirondacks. We kicked things off at a ranch with views of mountains in the back. After getting acquainted with our horses, we set off into the forest on a captivating trail that led us to our dinner spot (highly recommend the dinner tour!). The trail was dynamic and engaging, winding through the mountains with a mix of uphill climbs, downhill slopes, flowing streams, and the soothing sounds of nature all around us. It wasn’t difficult by any means, but was not boring! The view at the top was absolutely breathtaking. The sun and clouds felt within reach, outlines of mountain tops in their blue haze right under. The whole view was yours. Enjoying dinner with such a backdrop was a soul-warming experience. Our hosts were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the trip. We would visit again!

My husband and I did the breakfast ride today and it was such a fun experience! The horses we rode on each matched our individual personalities so well lol.

Lessons & Workshops
Nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks, the Adirondack Folk School is a hub for traditional folk arts. From half-day sessions to multi-week courses, students can learn skills like chair building, blacksmithing, fly tying, and birch bark basketry from expert instructors. The school also offers opportunities to explore local history at the Frances Kinnear Museum of Local History and Hadley-Luzerne Public Library.
I was so impressed with this historic school building. I learned that it currently houses classrooms for Fiber Arts, Basketry, Woodworking, Woodcarving, Quilting, Felting, to name a few. The Lake George Annex location – the Alfred Z. Solomon Weaving and Woodworking Studio – has allowed the Folk School even more space for some of their larger class offerings, such as the Wee Lassie Canoe, and various Fiber Arts classes. During our visit we learned that In 2023, over 1,000 students who had 60 artisan instructors and over 250 classes to choose from were able to take advantage and learn from the best. It was a welcoming place, which invites people to come see what Folk Schools are all about, where they started, and how they made their way to America.

People are nice and what one learns is also a great. I took a basket making class; the instructor was great and I took home a nice basket, which my wife receives many compliments on. Also, on a later date, made Roasting Forks with my daughter, which was really great. Hat's off to the old timey blacksmiths; we had a forge...it took all day, but well worth the work!

I took a paddle-making class and was so impressed both with the facility and the instructor, Caleb Davis. I have a little woodworking experience but haven't done much carving, so I was dubious about the quality of paddle I'd produce. But I walked away with a piece I'm really proud of, and I know I have Caleb's clear teaching (and preternatural patience) to thank for it. I'll certainly consider taking another class here!

At the Adirondack Adventure Center, you can experience thrilling zip line rides and navigate through wooden platforms in the treetop adventure park. For a more relaxing time, you can opt for a guided lazy river tubing experience with family and friends. The knowledgeable and professional guides ensure a safe and enjoyable trip down the river, providing interesting facts along the way. It's recommended to bring only essentials as cooler floats are available for beverages and snacks.
My girlfriend and I did the white water rafting and Gabe was an incredible instructor! The river had three sets of smaller rapids that are safe enough for kids and no one ever fell out of the raft. Very minimal paddling except when we hit the three rapids. The water was pretty dang cold but definitely refreshing. They have a photographer on site to take pictures at the end (that you can purchase). Thanks Gabe & Team—may your dry humor never die!

Had so much fun even tho the weather was not the best! It was pretty chilly but we had a great time! The trainees Luke and Bryce were awesome!

We had an absolutely amazing time with Sarah and Daniel. They worked really hard to keep us comfortable and safe. And when we had a ridiculous downpour, they got out of their kayaks and towed us down the river to try to get us out of the rain faster. Outstanding service. And they were both so friendly! We’re definitely going to do this again.

We did the whitewater rafting and lazy tubing with this company. I write to give high praise to their rafting division, especially to our guide, Gabe (the tubing was a bit slow for our taste, but that's no reflection on the company; when I booked I wasn't sure which my family would prefer and they overwhelmingly preferred the rafting). When we arrived, they took the time to make sure we were all matched with properly fitted and tightened life jackets, and explained how to test for a proper fit and warned of the dangers of slipping out. Once on the water, we all just had a ball the whole time. Gabe was warm and personable with a lovely sense of humor. We navigated several rapids safely while having the fun of the thrill. Silly me, I thought all of this was pretty standard with rafting. After we had such a good time, we booked another rafting trip elsewhere (not in NY) and it was nothing like AAC, from just tossing out thin life vests with no guidance, no guides on boats, no assistance from the guide in a separate kayak when falling out of a boat (even when a child fell out). I'm glad I'd incorporated what I'd learned from AAC in tightening her vest myself. I would absolutely return to AAC again and hope they will offer a longer rafting trip we can take in the future.

We had the pleasure today of tubing down the Hudson River! Weather was gorgeous and itt was beautiful! But our guides Avery and Ethan were amazing! The river was very low so it took a little longer to get down river but Avery and Ethan went above and beyond to help everyone get down the river and while having a great time! My husband has very bad arthritis and they worked really hard for 3hrs to help him and everyone else get over rocks and people stuck. And to top it off as exhausted as I’m sure they were…..once we got back they immediately went on the next trip just to do it all over again. They did an amazing job today!! We will never forget this river trip and they helped contribute to that. That says a lot!! Thanks for a great memory!!

Week after week, new musical pieces are introduced, which the students must master and perform in concert under the guidance of outstanding music educators. But the intensity doesn't bother them, as the children enjoy wonderful friendships, encourage and support one another, and make progress in every way. Luzerne Music Center is the best place for any child involved in music who wants to grow, and when it all comes to an end, it feels like a beautiful dream.

The Lake George Steamboat Company, established in 1817, operates three historic ships: the Minnie-Ha-Ha, a rare steam paddle wheeler; the Mohican, with over a century of continuous operation; and the Lac du Saint Sacrement, the largest cruise ship in inland New York State. Daily hour-long lakefront cruises are available, as well as longer specialty and entertainment cruises. The company also offers private event rentals.
We absolutely loved our trip on Lake George aboard the historic cruise steamboat! The atmosphere was truly unique – it felt like stepping back in time while enjoying the stunning lake views. We especially appreciate that the company has been operating for so many years, preserving this wonderful tradition. Thank you for an unforgettable experience – we will definitely be back!

Beautiful 90 plus day on a crystal clear lake. Lake George offers a variety of pleasures. Day trips to mini or full vacations. THIS shouldn't be passed up. If you want a outing for not high cost value with memorable times and great views I recommend this company. From 1 hour to a full lake excursion they offer so much in mind. From just a boat tour to fireworks or other themes this is such a worth while endeavor. It's got so much to offer for the value. Super happy I took my wife on the lake cruise it was 5 hours but such a beautiful day and so many great views. Def will again and other things we saw that's worth doing. Parking was 20 and it's first come first serve so early is better than late :-)
Wanderer — Google review
Wish the seating was alittle nicer but given the history of the boat itself I can understand. All in all the boat/lake tour was cool. But the guy thats collecting the money for parking needs to either take a happy pill or go find another line of work. Outside of that it's worth taking a tour on the boat.

It was a beautiful day to enjoy the boat tour! The Captain offered a nice narrated tour as we set out for our hour long excursion. It was very interesting to hear about all of the famous people that have been enjoying this beautiful lake since the 1800's. They don't rush you on the boat and they don't rush you off either. That's very important to me as I don't move as quickly as I used to! All of the staff were friendly and it's a wonderful escape into history and how this town became such a hotbed for tourists! The next time we visit, I would love to try the longer tour with the included meal! The Rails to Sails is a wonderful way to create a day travel package and well worth the trip!!!

We got the last 1 hour tour of the season. It was a nice slow and smooth ride around the southern part of beautiful Lake George. The fall colors were gorgeous and we even spotted a bald eagle. The captain did a great job telling us about the history of the lake and about the many beautiful homes along the way. Restrooms, food and drinks for purchase were located on the bottom deck. We sat on the upper deck. It was enclosed and warm inside. It was windy and too cold to sit outside that day. There is free parking across the street and a nice souvenir shop as well.

On a beautiful, warm early October day, we arrived at Lake George, a brilliant blue lake underneath an equally brilliant sky. The tourist crowds had dispersed in the preceding weeks. We enjoyed a 60-minute gentle tour of the lower end of the lake, narrated with just a touch of dry wit by our captain. The views were lovely, and if we had the chance to do it over again, we would have booked the more extended tour or the dinner cruise.
Bill B — Google review
The kids and I loved the little song played with the steam before we got on the boat. They took a group pic of us before we got on the boat which was cute. And it was an additional cost of $45 (package). We went on the Minnie Ha Ha. It was nice sunny day. Took out and kept us entertained with cute little facts. The drinks and food is not free . When reading on the website it makes it seem like light refreshments were included with the tickets when purchasing online. Which it’s not. Other than that it was a nice experience. You can even go down and see how the boat work with steam. And of course the view was amazing.

Love this winery! So many amazing wines, I’m not into dry wines but the ones I tried were incredible. Everyone was super helpful, we had Ben mostly helping us and he was amazing! We bought more bottles than intended just from his tips. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Lake George!

Adirondack Winery truly made my dad’s birthday so special. This was our second time coming back after a year, and Amber was still here just as hilarious, welcoming, and entertaining as ever. We were helped by Maya and Ben who were wonderful. Maya was sooo helpful helping my extremely indecisive family choosing wines for our flight. We laughed, we ate, and we learned about the wonderful wines the Adirondack Winery offered. Thank you Maya & Amber for the cherry on top of a wonderful weekend in Lake George! We’re so excited to share the multiple bottles we got with friends and family after this trip.

Beach
Nature & Parks
Million Dollar Beach, also known as Lake George Beach, is a popular destination located at the southernmost point of Lake George. This 1,700-foot golden sandy beach offers a picturesque view of steamboats and provides amenities such as lifeguards, restrooms, showers, and a parking lot. Open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend between 8am and 8pm, visitors can enjoy swimming in designated areas when lifeguards are on duty.
Great spot… We came in the beginning of April on a cool overcast day, so it wasn’t exactly beach weather. I’ve been here before and it’s a great spot. Plenty of parking with nice clean facilities and friendly staff. The sand and the views are spectacular… Worth going out of your way for a visit.
Chris M — Google review
We visited million dollar beach and we were overall very happy with the cleanliness of the beach and water. There is a 10 dollar cost to park your car but still worth it. The water is low so it’s enjoyable for people of all ages. The lifeguards can get very annoying with the blowing of the whistles, especially for what seems like Minor offenses, but they are just doing their jobs. Definitely recommend this beach

Imagine you need a calm, peaceful place where only the sound of ocean waves, seagulls, and children’s laughter surround you. Or maybe you’d like to enjoy a small picnic with your friend circle or take a cruise trip. In that case, Million Dollar Beach is a wonderful spot. I didn’t want to return home, it felt like I should stay a little longer, gazing at the friendship of the sky and mountains, mesmerized by the rhythm of the water’s waves.

We had a great time as a family at Lake George's Million Dollar Beach. It's a really nice place to swim, and we felt comfortable with the good lifeguard supervision in the designated swimming areas. We would definitely come back again when we're in the area. We visited on a Monday (8/11) in the middle of the day, and it was quite crowded. My only minor complaint is that there wasn't a lot of space to lay out towels in the sand, especially near the main walkway and closer to the lake. There was more space available on the side of the building, but those areas didn't have lifeguards, which made it a little difficult to find a spot to relax while still being near a supervised swimming area. Despite that, it's a great location that's easy to get to, and the locker rooms and bathrooms were clean. Overall, we had a fantastic day and would recommend it for a fun family beach trip.
Jordan K — Google review
Lifeguards are present, but basically unnecessary for actual safety. Just there to enforce the way too many rules. No balls, no floats, no games, no fun. “Swimming” area is WAY too small and shallow. Might be worth it if your kid is 5 or younger. Not for anyone who likes doing more than sunbathing or standing in knee-deep water.

we went end of august. paid $10 to park. nice beach. great views of the lake and mountains. water clear and clean. swimming area roped off and on shallow end only (because it drops off to 30 feet), good for little kids. we walked over to dog beach which allows you to swim out further, but no lifeguard. there’s place to grab snacks. there’s restrooms and outdoor shower/faucet to wash feet.

A beautiful place, and by beautiful I mean the attention, the decoration, the ambiance. Live music, country, with excellent service. The girl who attended me was very, very professional and friendly. I particularly recommend the Sacandaca Sunset wine as a red wine and Melody as a white wine option. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.

I recently attended a Winery in the Woods private event for my friend’s bachelorette party. We were warmly greeted by our driver/host, Kevin, who escorted our group by hay wagon to the secluded site in the woods. Every detail was perfectly curated from the impressive charcuterie board to the selection of wines. Our wine expert, Lynn, stayed to tell us about each wine, pour drinks and make us feel especially welcome. We had two guests arrive late and Kevin brought them by golf cart to meet our party. We also ordered food from Giuseppe's in town. Kevin brought the food to our site for no extra charge. Surrounded by a beautiful brook, rock ledges, a fire pit and nature, we had the perfect backdrop to celebrate our bride-to be. I highly recommend having Ledge Rock Hill Winery provide the setting for your next special event!

It was a very nice experience, reasonable price, the kayak was comfortable and it had a support for my back and it was amazing for me! They get very busy, specially if it’s a weekend.

The boat was in top condition—clean, comfortable, and perfect for a day on the water. The marina and surrounding grounds were beautifully maintained, and the view was truly stunning.

Visitors can expect classic mini-golf fun with themed holes that evoke childhood memories. The venue is known for its family-friendly environment, making it an ideal spot to spend quality time with loved ones.
Had a fun time with the family today at the Goony Golf in Lake George. Course was well maintained and great for young kids. The nursery rhyme theme was cute and my kids loved every whole. My only complaint is the arcade room could have an update. The games were pretty old and the room could use some love. But overall the mini golf itself is a good time.

Still the same as when I was a kid. I'm so happy it's still around. I never have been to a mini golf place as fun as this one. It's silly and clean and has a lot of benches for people who aren't able bodied. A must stop especially with kids in Lake George.

My family of 6 had a nice evening playing some mini golf together. A lot of people actually come here. It was a little wait to go to the next hole put we was not bothered with it. Because the theme of the park made it fun and exciting. It had a lot of story book characters. Which made it fine for the whole family. I myself actually enjoyed seeing Humpty Dumpty, the safari with water fall and rupunzel. There is also a pirate you can take pics with at the front and a little arcade. I would definitely go back again when visiting Lake George. Also the hotels have a coupon you can use.

I have to give it five stars because it's so bad it's a blast. Paint chipping. Mismatched themes. Shoddy carpets and pieces that don't work so your ball gets stuck inside. Character rip offs. This place has them all. And yet ... Five stars. Yep. Really fun and funny.

Amy M — Google review
I've been going to Goony Golf with family my entire life. Now that I have children of my own, it has become part of our yearly summer tradition. However, this year's experience was different. We had a group of 3 small children 4-6 years old golfing (plus an infant) and 4 adults, who were not playing, but teaching the children to play. We have done this without issue EVERY YEAR for 30+ years with various configurations of children in the family. This year, we were told the adults all had to pay to play (even myself, with a literal infant in a stroller) regardless of the fact we were not planning to play. The game would have taken 4x as long and we would have held up the line and wound up with a car full of cranky children had we played. Needless to say, the experience was double the price and half the fun as a result. None of the adults played, because we needed to help the children and also navigate the very non stroller friendly course while balancing 4 extra clubs.. Unfortunately this incident likely closed the door on Goony for good, at least until our children are grown. It's a shame, because the kids really like this course, but we can't justify a door price just to walk the course with our children. Horrible policy. Parents of small kids, take note. Threw 1 extra star on there for nostalgia.

Miniature golf course
Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf in Lake George, NY is a popular family-friendly venue with an award-winning 18-hole mini-golf course. The pirate-themed setting features lush landscaping, sunken ships, and waterfalls for an immersive 18th-century adventure. Visitors can navigate the well-maintained course while avoiding hidden pirates to win the game. The facility is known for its cleanliness and excellent scenery, although some find the holes to be relatively easy.
Pirate’s Cove is a nicely designed, family-friendly miniature golf course. The course has great aesthetics with plenty of pirate paraphernalia and props. There’s a large, impressive waterfall on the course. Each hole has a unique objective and can get fairly challenging at times. There’s also plenty of trees and greenery, so the course can easily be played in the midday sun. Considering the high-end area, the course is reasonably priced. I really enjoyed playing at Pirate’s Cove, and I highly recommend this course for everyone.

This facility also offers an arcade, indoor playground, laser tag, and a bar and grill for a full day of entertainment. It's a clean and welcoming place where both adults and kids can have a great time bowling or enjoying other activities.
I've been here a few times and recently had my son's birthday party here for the first time. I was a tiny bit nervous that you couldn't book online, they didn't do a confirmation call to get a final headcount, and otherwise didn't seem to run birthday parties like a well oiled machine like The Fun Spot or Sky Zone. BUT. The day of, everything was perfect. Our go-to party person (Olivia?) was AMAZING with her communication, support, and professionalism. These things can be stressful for parents and she made the whole thing run seamlessly. Birthday aside, they have a nice assortment of things to do with bowling, arcade, laser tag, indoor playground, and bar area.

Lake George Lanes & Games is a nice small bowling alley in Lake George, NY. Stopped in for open bowling and the lanes were well oiled and taken care of. Altogether, they have 24 lanes. They do rent shoes and have house bowling balls. There is a medium sized arcade inside the alley as well. There is also a snack bar, restaurant, and bar in the alley as well. During open bowling it was easy to get a lane. Conveniently, located on Canada Street it is near many other Lake George fun spots. If you’re in Lake George add this as another place to have fun.

We went with our two small kids (3 and 6). They both had a blast. The indoor playground was clean and lots of fun for both of them. We played a lot of games in the arcade, the games were a great value and there is a good variety. After that we took in a round of bowling. They had a good assortment of balls for our kids and us. They had several of the bowling assist devices (including one that looks like a dinos tail) and automatic bumpers that we set up for the kids. Lastly we did one round of laser tag. Just a note that in order to play the kiddos have to be able to see over the counter (which is totally fair). Our youngest is too young to play but they allowed him to follow us around while playing. We managed to get a game right before a big party with just the four of us in it, which was lots of fun. All in all a very fun afternoon, great value, and a great place!

Hello, I recently booked an hour of playtime at your facility, but unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience. The snowboard boots I received were very old and worn out, and the boards were covered with too much powder, which made it hard to maintain balance. I nearly fell several times and had to stop playing after just 30 minutes for my own safety. When I raised my concerns, I was told I should not be without boots, but the real issue was the poor condition of the boots and the powder-covered boards. Unfortunately, my money was completely wasted, as I didn’t receive the quality service I paid for. If this continues, I’m sure many people will leave the track before their full time ends. That might be profitable for your business, I don’t know—but it is certainly not fair or professional. I would also like to mention that I have years of experience in clinical/sports games like this, and I’m fully familiar with the rules, safety standards, and how things should work. So I speak from knowledge and experience. Please take this matter seriously and improve conditions for future guests. Sincerely.

Last month, while up visiting family, my husband and I wanted a couple nights out by ourselves with my parents watching our kid. We've bowled before sporadically, but Lake George Lanes & Games seemed like something fun we could do by ourselves. and boy were we right!!

The location is extremely clean, the employees are kind and helpful, and overall it had a wonderful vibe. We will definitely be back next year!

Front desk staff is abrasive and kurt. No customer service skills. Only rule enforcement and lip service. The manager was a complete Karen and the small blonde girl had an attitude bigger than herself when she spoke to me. They required we pay ahead of time to bowl and we came in 75 mins prior to closing being unsure about what we could fit in. We were told we could fit 2 games in (great) but as soon as it was passed closing, the staff acted like it was our fault by staring at us, shutting off the music as well as the AC. Our party of 6 cleaned our lanes and tables spotlessly and even put away all the balls. Just mean stares. Not a thank you. Not a smile. Terrible attitudes most especially in a vacation town.

They should add Foosball too. That will be a good addition.

Coast Guard licensed captains ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for doubles and trios, offering a unique perspective of the stunning Adirondack mountains. For a more relaxed water adventure, consider a three-hour Lazy Tubing River Adventure or try kayaking and paddleboarding at Lake George Kayak Company.
We were fortunate to have the owner take us out. She and her first mate were great. Communicated well and by the time we were ready to go, we were prepared. Safety First BTW Lisa is the person in charge of the entire Para sailing organization in the world for safety. This was a fantastic ride. you slide ride out and way you go up. The views of St George lake and surrounding area were so beautiful. We top out at about 300 ft in the air. We were up about 10-12 min we think. We got to splash down in the water and then back on our way in. We were on the boat with 4 little girls and their Mom/Aunt. If they can do it then everyone should. Overall it was exhilarating. We recommend going with Parasailing Adventures. We will definitely be back.

I brought my large family here on Saturday and decided to try parasailing. Check in was efficient, professional and easy. Photos and videos were awesome and very reasonably priced. We chose to buy them ahead of time. The crew on the boats were friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel safe. We will be back next summer. Everyone at this establishment was kind and made us feel welcomed. Thanks again for a great ride.

The experience was amazing! The boat captain and teenager handle were amazing, knowledgeable and friendly and I just felt safe. They didn’t make us uncomfortable at all with our weight or age and just encouraged us. The owner herself was super responsive and Helpful. We will def return our next trip and I even recommended them to a few locals and repeat visitors.

My son and I had an awesome experience parasailing this past Sunday! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the views were spectacular! The crew and the driver were very personable and professional. You could tell that safety was the first priority. The second one was ensuring all guests had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend parasailing with this company! Thanks so much Kendall and Kate!

Adventure sports center
Nestled along the scenic Sacandaga River, the Sacandaga Outdoor Center is a fantastic destination for adventure seekers. Known for its exhilarating whitewater rafting experiences, this center offers guided trips through thrilling class II and III rapids, ensuring safety with mandatory personal flotation devices. Beyond rafting, visitors can embark on challenging whitewater kayak tours or enjoy leisurely canoeing adventures.
We recently visited the Sacandaga Outdoor Center for a rafting adventure with our kids, and it was an amazing experience! Even though we were walk-ins, the staff was incredibly accommodating and made sure we were set up for our trip without any hassle. They thoroughly explained all the safety procedures, which was especially reassuring since it was our first time rafting. Our guides were full of energy and enthusiasm, making the experience not just safe but also a lot of fun. The front desk staff was also very friendly and helpful, contributing to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Sacandaga Outdoor Center for anyone looking to enjoy some outdoor adventure!

A picture tells a thousand words, so just look at our faces & know that we had a wonderful time rafting. The company was aware that more people had shown up than had booked and were kind enough to offer my husband and I our own private raft and guide. To Nate, our guide, you made our trip perfect.. and to those more experienced rafters, this is a place where you take your friends, family acquaintances and introduce them to this wonderful sport of white water rafting. Yes, we’ve done higher classed white water rafting, but it’s more than that. It’s the experience of a new river, it’s the awe of watching Eagles fly across the water & the thrill of new rafters enjoying this sport.

We took our grandkids (13 and 16) for their first whitewater rafting experience. It was a cool rainy day, but that was just fine; we were getting wet anyway. It also meant we had the guide and raft to ourselves which was very nice. Jason was our guide and he’s a very seasoned professional! He is also a HS teacher, so he was a natural at giving instructions and leading the trip. Every single person we met during our visit was super friendly, interested in getting to know us and making us comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone! Well worth it .

We had such a great time rafting. Our guide, Stuart , went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience, and as long as possible on the water. The children (13 and 11) loved the water fight and lots of jumping into the river from the boat on the calm stretch. We all got in and It was a brilliant feeling being carried downstream in the most beautiful setting. The rapids were not huge but were big enough to be exhilarating. We highly recommend this activity.

We loved our rafting trip with SOC! This is our third year in a row rafting with this company. The tour guides are energetic and fun. They give fun facts about the area as they guide the raft down the river. We also enjoy the water gun fight and the swimming between the rapids. The time together is fun and we always feel safe. We will be back again next year!

We had a party of 8 and we had the absolute best time! We went rafting and had Chloe as our guide. She was absolutely phenomenal! We were thoroughly briefed on all security measures on the bus ride to the river. You’re able to get out and drift along the river after some awesome whitecaps and a water fight with the other rafts in your party! We are definitely coming back (probably this week!) and we’ll be requesting Chloe as our guide!! We had such a fun experience. Thanks to Jess for giving us the options and explaining why rafting was better for our party. Bravo!

This experience was well organized!! Shout out to Jesse our guide who was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe while still keeping the adventure fun and thrilling. We got the perfect mix of calm stretches to soak it all in and action-packed rapids that had us laughing and cheering the whole way through. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline rush or just a unique way to enjoy the outdoors, this trip is perfect. I’d 100% recommend it to anyone!!

The Wild Waters Outdoor Center Sacandaga Base offers an exhilarating white water rafting experience on the Sacandaga River. Despite initial hesitations due to the weather, visitors were equipped with wet suit jackets and over jackets to brave the rapids. The river turned out to be warmer than the air, adding to the thrill of navigating through fun and moderately challenging rapids.
This was an awesome trip and perfect for our 5yr old. Our guide Julia did such a great job!! She made the trip so fun. Smiles the whole time on our boat. Really, the whole team and experience was amazing. We 100% recommended it and will be back.

Amazing Experience for First-Time Rafters From the affordable price to the convenience of water shoes, shirts, and other gear available right in their store, everything about this trip was fantastic. The guides were both funny and knowledgeable—our guide Chris was quick-witted, engaging, and always kept safety a top priority. The splash fights were an absolute blast, and the relaxing dip in the water felt incredible on a 90° day. For those on the larger side like myself, the trip was still very comfortable and manageable. The only minor challenge was helping carry the raft up a short but steep hill at the end, but it was over quickly. I loved every moment—made new friends, laughed a lot, and enjoyed an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend!

Lake George Tiki Tours offers a unique and enjoyable boating experience on Lake George. The thatch-covered tiki boat can accommodate up to twelve passengers, making it a great option for families and friends seeking a distinctive water adventure. While the tour does not include food or drinks, guests are welcome to bring their own and use the cooler provided on board. Additionally, there is a bathroom available for convenience.
If you are in the Lake George area, you must book a trip with the Original Tiki Tours! OG and Evie were the perfect nautical duo and showed us the best time on the water. We were celebrating our best friends 50th birthday and this was the perfect way to kick off the 2025 summer season on opening day. Thanks for the memories!

My husband and I decided to book a private tiki tour since we brought our dog- Bodhi. It was the best and My favorite memory from Lake George. We all had an amazing time!!! Captain OG and Evie took such great care of us! They provided us with excellent customer service!!! Bodhi, our dog had a blast ! Evie the tiki queen has such a fun personality, she made sure our drinks were cold and kept them coming. She also played really good music, offered to take pictures of us and made Bodhi feel comfortable 💙. I will definitely be returning and I will be requesting Evie and Captain OG. Thank you both for the wonderful experience 😊 We look forward to another boat ride with you both .

This was my first encounter with Lake George Tiki Tours and it went above and beyond my expectations! We booked a private ride for 12 (but there was room for up to 16) to celebrate our friend’s upcoming nuptials. We knew to BYOB but I was impressed by the level of service while on the boat. Our host, Ivette, had a great energy (even dancing and singing along with us at times). She also made sure no one was without a beverage and wiped down our canned drinks when wet from the coolers and ice they provided. Captain Will had a steady hand at the wheel and was gracious as we danced, laughed and sang (loudly and possibly off key) with our music. Ivette also shared interesting facts about some of the beautiful houses around the lake, but never over stepped into being a museum director. The water and shoreline provided so many gorgeous photo opportunities for our glowing bride-to-be. If you’re looking for a ridiculously fun, safe way to enjoy Lake George with friends, music and snacks, then Tiki Tours is the company to use!

Left work early last Friday and did the 75 minute public tour. I had a great time, met some amazing folks and relaxed on such a beautiful day. You bring your own beverages and they have coolers on board. Shay was a great hostess and Captain Steve was fun and even sang and danced along with us ladies. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is when I arrived(I was by myself), there was no one checking us in and when the other boat came in, it seemed rushed and chaotic to get us on the boat. No one checked my “ticket” or did I need any ID. Plus no one really gave us any real info before we left the dock. I had to ask to get my drinks in a cooler. It seemed a bit unorganized at the start but turned out to be a fun time. Should be longer. 2 hours would have been perfect.

We were visiting Lake George for 2 nights. Out of the many things we wanted to do the Tiki boat tours was on the top of the list for me. My wife is shit scared of going on boats sice she gets dizzy on rough waters, but even she agreed to go on it since I wasn't steering the boat ..lol !! We had enjoyed drinks many times in tiki bars at many Resorts & beaches but having the tiki experience on a boat was a completely new thing. We had a great captain and a very polite and entertaining boat host named Eve. The boat tour was almost 2 hrs round trip to the center of the lake and the captain was amazing who gave us a very smooth ride despite the rough winds that day. He also gave us a very good description & history of the lake and all the lake front properties. He gave us a closeup look to lot of the millionaire row mansions and their excuisite architectures. The boat also had great music. Played most of the popular hits for the young & old.Even my teenage kids enjoyed the trip. Best part was the drinks were BYOD so we could enjoy what we liked to drink. The boat host cooled the drinks for us in coolers and also served it to us in glasses or off the bottle/can. Some of the guests also offered their own drink collections they got onboard. So enjoyed a good variety. The boat ride was amazing and mingling and chatting with the other guests was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend visitors to Lake George to definitely try out the Tiki boat tours in addition to the many other water experiences that the lake has to offer. Its worth the experience for a very nominal price. And please dont forget to tip the Captain & the amazing boat host for their amazing service.

We had an amazing experience doing the Hadley run. The staff were fun, and informative and safe when running the tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and I highly recommend doing it if you get the chance. The views are outstanding over the bridge, and then we got to go down the trail and through the woods which was also a great view. We were lucky enough to see some deer walking across the tracks, and being so close to nature was really nice. It was minimal effort, but also a nice activity.

We had a lot of fun doing the 6 miles round trip bike rail tour. The bikes were easy to peddle. There was a bit of an incline heading out but it was a nice coast downhill on the way back. The bridge over the river crossing at the beginning had beautiful views. The fall colors made this a gorgeous ride too. The staff were very friendly as well. They made sure everyone was safe and comfortable the entire tour. They have a basket at the back of each rail bike for our belongings. There is a quick 10 min break at the end so bring snacks or water to enjoy at the picnic tables.

Campground
Luzerne State Campground is a public camping site located on Fourth Lake, offering 174 tent and trailer sites with amenities such as hot showers, flush toilets, fireplaces, and charcoal grills. The campground provides opportunities for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing on Fourth Lake. Visitors can enjoy spacious sites near the lake with stunning sunsets and the option to rent canoes or kayaks for a reasonable price.
Great camping spots, very clean, privacy at state campgrounds is usually always the same so I'm not sure why people complain, look at the map, we always pick a site far from the main rd. The maps are a great tool to picking a spot, and seeing how many campsites are in that area. All park staff was very kind, the beach was beautiful and clean, my son met a friend to play with in the evening, everyone was great, the experience was great, it usually is when we come to the Adirondacks though! My family will definitely stay here again!

The grounds were fine except there were lots of large rocks that needed to be raked before putting your tent down. Each site comes with two picnic tables and the fire pit. The pit is a 3-sided stone wall with most sites having a rectangular grill grate attached by a chain. We were missing a grate but luckily the site next to us had two. There were plenty of private shower stalls with a one-touch button to turn on warm water that lasts about 5 minutes. Our site was a bit more cramped than other sites near us. The numerous trees made our place smaller but manageable (not a good fit for a trailer). I made note of a different site if we decide to stay here again as some have a longer “driveway”. We picked our site because of access to the lake and the foot traffic wasn’t a bother. The beach was small but not overcrowded. Plenty of people brought their paddleboards, canoes and kayaks. We caught bass and pickerel. I would’ve given 5 stars had I known about the cramped area prior to booking my site.

Not a place for privacy or peace. I cut my stay short as it’s not a very enjoyable place to relax and enjoy nature. Check in happens at the booth where you drive in. If you’re curious about the H loop, there’s a single area for all of the horses behind H3. Struggled to find a flat spot free of roots and rocks. Each site has 2 picnic tables. There is a fireplace, no grill. There’s a frill grate at the site, which may or may not be chained or even mounted. Water, bathroom - neither are particularly close to that site. The bathroom there is horrendous, looks straight out of an 80’s horror movie. 2 stalls were immediately too few. I don’t think it can be rehabbed, they need new restrooms. Campers are not courteous and do not follow the direction of the loop. Folks at the beginning are subject to them driving by on their way out and on their way in - hugely invasive and selfish. The folks at the other end of the loop drove their 6 cars past me no less than 200 times in 3 days. Whats crazy is they could have similarly gone the other wrong way around the loop and would have (like me) not had to drive past their neighbors’ campsites at the beginning of the loop. It’s like camping next to Main St on a parade route - someones neck is always broken looking at what I have at my camp. Also lots of people who were not camping in the loop driving through looking suspicious. The beach is very small, but the water clean and clear and a bit warm. Staff is friendly and helpful, no store on site. Lots of attractions, stores, etc nearby. Not much wildlife activity, mostly birds n’ bugs, chipmunks, deer. If you want to enjoy camping, chose another campsite. If you need a cheap place to stay near the various attractions, Luzerne will work. Oh and the main road is narrow and lots of campers are trucks towing wide equipment. No raccoons lurking at dusk or at the dump station.

The park rangers set up a speed trap at the bottom of a hill the furthest from any camp sites possible and pulled over nearly the entire campground. Seemed like a shakedown. The one “officer” had the nerve to say “Happy Birthday” after handing me a ticket for going 5mph over. Just watch your back if you do go.

Camping in a place for the 1st time is something of a crap shoot for most of us. I went to visit a friend in the Lake Luzerne area. I pulled off to a rest area on route 9N, to contact my friend. The hour was early and my arrival was earlier than I, and my friend expected. So I booked a campsite for 2 days Monday and Tuesday, with a Wednesday a.m. checkout. I arrived a bit earlier than the check-in time by 30mins. They were friendly and said they would have to chk site and clean it because someone had stayed there. The people never checked out and a different site was giving to me close to my selected site. I didn't mind. I set up and was gone til early a.m. to sleep. Tuesday weather was rainy and everything was damp at minimum. I had a great visit with my friend, and also visited with others. My stay was made a bit easier because of the nice and accommodating staff. I did decide to leave on Tuesday early due to weather and conditions. The site was clean. I did take a shower. The showers were in one of several small private shower rooms. That was a nice surprise of the private room to use. They were clean and a little parking lot in case you drove to shower. The lake and private beach also a nice amenity to utilize. All in all I will definitely go back to this campground.

I give the factory outlets a four even though they deserve a five for what is offered in the entirety of the area. And in that, I mean most likely you would drive from one island of the outlets to the next versus stroll from top to bottom. It's kind of spread out and there's a lot of places closed in between so it's not a real flow. But what there are are so many wonderful outlet top brand stores available that it's worth it. There is a wonderful restaurant at the North end, The Log Jam. So I would suggest starting at one end, perhaps the South, nearest to exit 20 making a clean sweep of the area going to your car with package (s) and then pulling to the other areas and doing the same. There's a Starbucks midway. Maybe finish @ Log Jam.. You can definitely make a day of it if you chose

I remember it as a fishing store and it's now the total opposite... Beautifully decorated, the layout perfect for events, and has such a warm feeling when you walk in.

This beautiful space and the community Darcy has built is truly a gem in this area. Through teaching classes, I've been able to experience this welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment. Darcy is committed to making all kinds of creative expression accessible to people of all abilities and identities. This is definitely a judgment free space and you will undoubtedly walk away with a new friend (or two). I highly recommend checking it out. There's something for everyone here!

28Lake Vanare

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Nestled along Route 9N, Lake Vanare is a picturesque gem that flows into Forest Lake, which in turn connects to the stunning chain of Fourth, Third, and Second Lakes. This serene waterway ultimately leads to Lake Luzerne before spilling into Mill Creek and eventually merging with the Hudson River. The journey through this area reveals breathtaking landscapes, particularly at Rockwell Falls—the narrowest point of the Hudson—where the river meets the Sacandaga River and Reservoir.

I just can't get enough of this place! If you want to leave the city life and relax under the stars with the sound of nurture, look no further. This is the place you want to go. Love to take out all the toys they have kayak, paddle boarding, canoes, party boat,row boats, jet skis etc. Staff are always nice and helpful.

I am writing to detail our recent experience renting a pedal boat at this Lake Luzerne facility. I would like to begin by commending the staff for their friendly and efficient service during the check-in process; the waiver and life vest procedures were straightforward and well-managed. However, the quality of the rental equipment was a significant concern. The pedal boat we were assigned was unclean and had a piece of duct tape with "Out of order" written on it. The staff informed us that a part had been replaced, and the boat was operational. Trusting this assessment, we proceeded. Regrettably, within approximately ten minutes of pedaling on the lake, the boat began to fill with water on one side, compromising its stability and safety. We had no choice but to terminate our excursion and return to the dock. Given that we paid $70 for this rental, the experience was profoundly disappointing and did not meet our expectations for value or safety. We would strongly advise a thorough inspection and repair of the watercraft to prevent similar incidents. Based on this experience, we cannot recommend this activity to others at this time.

We had a great day on the lake with kayaks and riding the water bike. Tori was awesome with showing us how to use everything the proper way and making sure all the equipment was ready to use. Thank you Tori for a fun day!

I booked a 1-hour jet ski ride and had a great experience riding on the river—until I was flagged down by a staff member. He politely informed me that I had gone too far downriver and asked me to follow him back to the cove. Once we returned, he advised me that riding was restricted to the cove area only. This came as a surprise, as I was not informed beforehand that I would be limited to such a small space. Had I known, I likely would not have booked with this company. In my opinion, the cove felt sketchy and unsafe for jet ski riding. There were low sandbars and rapids that you had to avoid, and much of the cove was shallow enough that you could see the riverbed—raising serious concerns about potential injury if someone fell off. Additionally, if more than one jet ski was out there at a time, space would be extremely limited, creating a high risk for collisions. These are the main reasons I ventured downriver—to find deeper water and more space to ride safely. However, after being advised to stay in the cove, I chose to end my ride early. While I’ve never rented a jet ski on a river before, I’ve had great experiences on lakes where there’s more freedom, room to roam, and fewer safety concerns due to proximity hazards. That said, I want to highlight that the staff was incredibly professional and understanding. When I voiced my concerns and requested a refund, they did not hesitate and processed it immediately—no pushback at all, which I appreciated. My only suggestion to the company is to be more upfront during the booking and instruction process about the limited area riders are allowed to operate in. That transparency would help customers make a more informed decision.
