The region surrounding an ancient British fortress from the 1700s with a learning center, as well as lodging and food establishments, is called Fort William Henry. The museum houses a wealth of historical information about the fort's past and its impact on the surrounding area. In addition to exploring the impressive edifice, visitors can enjoy various amenities in the form of lodgings and dining options.
The Shelving Rock Falls are a beautiful waterfall that can be found in the Sleeping Beauty National Park. The hike to the falls is easy, and there are several short advanced trails that lead to the falls. The waterfalls and creeks around the falls are gorgeous, and the Log Jam Bay on Lake George is also accessible from the trails.
Went after Fall Foliage and the hike was absolutely beautiful. No trash on the ground thank you for not littering and those that clean. The hike only took about 1hr to reach the peak of Sleeping Beauty and the view was breath taking. There are 4 parking lots to choose from and parking lot 4 is closer to the start of your hike. Gorgeous waterfalls and creeks everywhere pouring fresh water all around.

One of the few “easy” hikes in the area. Great views of unspoiled Lake George. Bring a bathing suit for a dip in the shallow, sandy, crystal clear water. Outhouses all along the trail. Pick up your trash people. No respect for nature.

Easy hiking to short advanced trails. Beautiful.. Log jam bay on lake George is also accessible from the trails. Boaters are a little loud at times if you want a full nature only day.. But if you don't mind that a good 5 hours of trails and waterfalls await.

Off the beaten path, short 1/2 mile hike to some beautiful falls with small wading pools. We wore our bathing suits and dipped in, felt wonderful. Go into the lower pool. It's like sitting in a tub. Water is very cold, but super refreshing. Great for kids. Definitely recommend wearing hiking boots or solid sneakers for climbing the rocks.

Absolutely beautiful area to hike and explore. The road to get back to the trailhead is a mix of paved and gravel. The road is well maintained. There are 3 different parking areas. I visited on Monday afternoon and only passed 2 people on the trail. Right at the beginning of the trail it's a little bit of rock hopping but then the trail smoothes out. A short walk down to the falls. There are many opportunities to take pics of the falls and the stream.

Went here on Mother’s Day as a family trip. Was great experience, the hike was not very hard and you got to view the beautiful waterfall at the end of the trail.

Cute little falls. Not enough water to get into the water. It's a short hike from parking lot 1. 0.4 miles one way. You could also do the buck mountain trail via shelfing rocks. This is a 5 mile hike.

Awesome hike. Not too tough. Got to the actual falls quicker than I expected and well worth the hike. Added bonus. Nice to attain the goal without frustration. Very satisfying. Beautiful woods, nice wide trail.

Nice hike, hard to find the entrance, poorly marked
We just went, during a very wet and snowy early spring week. We parked in parking lot 1 and wandered around, looking for the trail. You have to walk back down the hill a bit from where you drove in, cross the little bridge and make a sharp right. It doesn't look like a trail. It looks like rocks on the side of the stream. That's the start of the trail. A few hundred feet in, it turns to an easy dirt path.
As you near the falls, you hear them on the right, but the red markers keep going up toward the left. We followed a barely discernible narrow bare path to the right and down the hill. It is very twisty and you have to hang onto trees in a few spots because it's not clear where the path is. Once down, however, you are at the base of the falls and it is beautiful! It looks like there may be some pools you can float around in at the base, but the water was high so I don't know if there is enough water in them during the summer.
All-in-all, it was a nice little hike. If you follow the path to the left, I think that takes you up the mountain, but we had a 5 year old with us, so we headed back.
A nice couple of hours out.

Lovely place, about 10 min walk to the falla, you need to go down along the falls, no particular trail to go to the bottom but it's pretty easy, we did it with my 7 yo and then continue on red trail and you'll get to lake George

Beautiful nature and falls. The path to get to the falls is not easy, as you have to go through rocks and wooded slippery areas. Once you get there, the falls will make the trip worthwhile.
If you plan to go, use proper gear.

Great little winter hike! Trail is primarily flat and easy to follow. Parked in the first parking lot, backtracked over the bridge and went around the guardrail to reach the beginning of the trail. We went during the winter so we had the falls all to ourselves. Beautiful quick and easy hike with a big reward at the end! Definitely stop in and check out this waterfall if you are in the area!

This hike was so enjoyable! There are many spots to jump into the lake off of the trail, beautiful waterfalls, and streams. We went in august and lived the entire hike!

The falls are pretty and easy to get to (the walking part, that is), except for a steep section to get to the bottom of the falls. The summet is a fairly easy to moderate hike (I'm 62 and in decent shape), but once you get to the top, there isn't much of a view. But what they don't tell you is that you have to drive about 10 miles on an unpaved road. It's pretty well graded so no potholes or anything, but it's still a dirt and gravel road. Not really worth the drive to me.

Adirondack Winery & Extreme Heights Cidery Lake George Tasting Room
The Adirondack Winery at Lake George is a popular family-owned winery that offers hand-crafted wines for visitors to sample. With multiple tasting rooms available, guests can enjoy a varied and comprehensive wine-tasting experience. The tasting room features a wide selection of Adirondack Winery vintages, allowing guests to taste and appreciate the beauty of the Adirondacks through their exceptional wines.
Wine tasting was amazing and very helpful to know which to buy. We came in middle of winter 🥶 freezing temps. Bought wines back to cabin. Some froze but defrosted fine. Just placed another order online. My only regret that I didn’t have cash to tip the helpful service. We will be back. Ghost town in winter made easy to find parking 😃.

My one night last minute escape to Lake George was amazing thanks to our server Sarah at my wine tasting at Adirondack Winery. I had such an experience with the 7 wine & 1 premium. My favorite which I renamed is the Beachside Bubbly *B!+€h yes I added the last word because it really hits with the smell & taste. We were the only couple in the place on a Monday which was off season in November. But I wouldn't have asked for anything else. We spent the entire afternoon there. I bought the jam, cheese & BBB. Thanks SARAH! You are a great HOST!

Thoroughly enjoyed spending some time learning about the great wines that Adirondack Winery produces. Eldon was a wonderful host, and we'll definitely be ordering a case to go alongside the bottles we picked up yesterday. Wide variety of wines available to taste! Come in with an open mind, as there are some wines that will exceed your expectations. Consider adding the tasting plate, it enhanced the experience.

Friendly staff. I did a wine tasting. Nice selection of wines and flavors. They provide a short description of each wine. Wine tasting includes wine tasting glass. Only negative review would be no restroom for customers. If you plan on drinking a lot, you will need to go elsewhere when nature calls.

Nice selection of fruit infused wines. Would have given this a 5, but felt a little rushed to get through the 7 samples. Was not offered water in between samples until another staff member came over to give us some when we hand only 1 sample left.

Friendly staffs and value deal. Opted for basic wine sampling which offers 7 choice and complimentary wine glass to keep. You can also select the wine highlighted in yellow for additional $1 each. They also offer wine slushies and a range of wine accessories like bag, tumbler, stopper, etc. to chose from. Seating is bar counter style in middle of the store

I had my first ever wine tasting experience here this past Memorial Day Weekend, and it was utterly fantastic. Koleen was my server, and as young as she is, she was extremely knowledgeable about all the wines that I was sampling. She also gave great suggestions on ones that she thought I would like, based on my feedback. The cost for the tasting is $15, and you pick 7 wines from a long list to try. Anything highlighted in yellow cost a dollar more. After the tasting, you have an option to buy any of the wines that you sampled, and you get the wine glass as a complimentary item. I ended up with four great bottles. Not only do they sell wine, but they also have some souvenirs and snacks. I highly recommend for anyone who loves wine like myself to definitely make a point to check this place out!

Awesome little gem on a cold day at Lake George. We loved the fruity sweeter wines. Our host Justin was an excellent server! For $15 you get 7 sample tastings + a glass to take home! Amazing deal!

We stopped in for a tasting and were greeted immediately, we waited only a few minutes to be checked in and seated. We ordered the works experience. Once we selected our tastings service was fast and friendly. Our “Happy Snacker” came out within a few minutes and paired well with the wines selected. I could have passed on the marshmallow and some of the crackers were more like cookies, nuts or fresh fruit would be a good addition, but it was different and I believe the cheeses and jams are locally made. The semi-dry Riesling, Lakeside Bubbly, and Moonlight were some of my favorites. They also have a location in Queensberry which is worth the short drive! There is no public bathroom at the Canada Street location so plan accordingly.

Fun wine tasting for a cold and rainy day while in Lake George. They had a nice selection of dry and sweet, so there is something for someone & prices weren’t that astronomical. Nicole was amazing as she walked us through our tasting and was a great time! Their wine wall for pictures was the perfect touch and a fun way to remember the trip!

Great experience at Adirondack Winery! We stopped in on a cold January day and we received very fast service and delicious wines. There were a wide variety of delicious wines to choose from for the tasting. Our experience was made even better by Amber, the bartender. Amber was so friendly and she talked about the flavor notes of each different wine I tried. Amber is a wonderful bartender and made the experience memorable!
I wouldn't say it was a super hard hike but it definitely wasn't easy. It was my first proper hike and I'm super proud of myself for completing it. There were some sections where I had to cross small streams to continue. Once you start getting towards the top you will get an amazing view but be sure to keep going to get to the summit.
Great views of Long Island on Lake George as well as Van Warmer Bay.

We visited in April 2023 and let me say - this trail is not for just a fun walk. We only did the first part of the trail which was a VERY STEEP HIKE up the side of the mountain! To the point where I was saying - if the top is not in the next 100 feet I’m gonna turn around - well I said that about 6 times but we did make it to the top. Amazing view, I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in the fall. But walking back down my legs were jelly! We didn’t complete the trail to go see the waterfall and that was okay with me! At least the gazebo at the top offered a place to rest. There were a surprising number of hikers there that cold spring day too!

The best ratio of hike-to-vista payoff in upstate New York. Make sure you keep going after the first *incredible* view of the southern half of Lake George to the real summit where you can see the second *incredible* view of the northern half. Just challenging enough to make it interesting for repeat hikes. Adults can comfortably complete a round trip in 3-4 hours including a quick picnic on top. Come early as parking becomes a challenge.

Hike to the Buck mountain summit is 3.3 miles one way and I would say that hike itself moderate level in difficulty. Not for kids for sure. View on top is nice and worth the visit. I was trying to make it to the summit before sunset and it took me
Around 1 hour and 20 minutes. On the way back I had to walk through pitch Black Forest with a flashlight and I don’t recommend it as if you are not careful you can hurt yourself. Also trail marks can be a little better as occasionally you kind of have to look around a bit to find the markings. Also people who rated is as easy probably pro hikers.

This was one of the challenging hikes I have done so far. It's a 7 mile hike with the first half roughly 600ft elevation gain and the second half is 1300ft elevation gain. Carry a large snack or a good meal and have it at the top of the hike watching lake George and the vast mountains overlooking New Hampshire. It's truley beautiful❤️

I'm not sure what kind of Appalachian trail veterans are leaving reviews here saying this hike is only moderate. Took us four hours roundtrip with a 7 & 9 year old in tow, and it was strenuous. Very nice hike with lots of cool streams to ford and a wide variety of terrain. We couldn't see the view since it was super foggy the day we went but I'm sure it was amazing considering the uphills.

It's a great hike. I would say medium difficultly with a beautiful view on top. The trail can be really wet during early spring or after heavy rain falls. About 4 or 5 streams you have to cross. Overall it has scenery and is a fun hike

This hike is part of the Lake George 12ster. Of the two main approaches to Buck (shelving rock or pilot knob), this one, pilot knob, is the better one in winter if you don't have an all-terrain vehicle with high clearance. Shelving rock is a gravel road, but the trailhead here at pilot knob is off a paved, plowed road, and the parking lot is pretty big (10-15 cars if they park nicely.) No incline to get into the lot, though the lot is currently very icy and uneven. You can do it with a normal car still. The hike to Buck is great, about 7 miles total (to the top and back), and mostly in streambeds. In the winter, that means it is VERY ICY. Bring microspikes! There was some snow at the top but nothing deep yet. There are several stream crossings, but the water isn't deeper than a few inches. The climb to the false summit is quite steep, don't forget to look behind you for an incredible view! There is also a great view from the summit itself. Stunning lake views, wonderful place. PS: currently an area near the beginning of the trail is flooded out. You need to follow the yellow spray painted detour.

There are many great hikes in the Lake George region and Buck Mountain is definitely one of them! Set on the southeast side of Lake George there are a few different ways up the mountain.
The most commonly used trailhead on Rt 32 and is about a 7 mile roundtrip hike. This hike starts pretty easy and then gets tougher as the hike progresses. Path is fairly wide and easy to follow. When you get close to the summit you will get some nice views of Lake George.
A second way up is from Shelving Rock Road. The Shelving Rock Trailhead is about a five-mile hike. The path has good footing and is moderate to strenuous. There are some fairly steep spots, but nothing to hard. You will see fewer people on this trail.
Finally, you can also catch a trail that starts near Inman Pond and joins the trail from Rt 32. This path is not very well used and is considerably longer. This trail can be found on Sly Pond Road.
At the top the view is awesome. You can not only see Lake George, the Sagamore Resort and the nearby Tongue Mountain Range, but on a clear day you can see the Adirondack High Peaks many miles north. Overall, the views show why this is one of the most popular hikes in Lake George!
If in the Lake George area give it a try! Try to go early as the parking lots fill up quickly.

Use this trail head to get to Stewart ledge. The trail is easy to see & the walk up only has a short distance, requiring an increase in elevation. The view at the top is great.

I'm a beginner hiker, so heres my 2 cents. The hike to the summit was pretty difficult. It gets steep many many times, my legs wanted to give in a few times. BUT if you persist, I promise you the view at the top is beautiful. Amazing view of Lake George and the Adirondacks in the background as far as the eye can see. Parking is easy. Also, definitely the nicest hikers I've ever come across on any trail!
The beach at Million Dollar Beach is one of the most popular in the area, and it's run by the state park service. This public beach offers swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation.
Small cozy beach with a great view of the lake. Their are lifeguards and an area to go swimming. Water was around 4 or 5ft and not a lot of waves since you’re on the beach

How about a million reasons not to go to this beach? The swimming area only allows you to go up to your knees. It's 5:04 pm and they're closing part of the swimming area and then they're closing the beach completely at 6:00 p.m. In the middle of July! Ridiculous.

This was one of my favorite days on vacation! The beach was clean, the scenery gorgeous with clear water and lushes greenery. There's food, restrooms, parking was easy, and even a place to rinse your feet. There was also a lifeguard on duty and lots of families enjoying themselves. It was the perfect first beach day for our 2 year old. Highly recommend a visit to Million Dollar Beach.

Small beach. Water is great. there is rope boundary in the water for kids and adults right in front of the life guard. Gets pretty deep in places so be careful. Not sure why this place has a 10$ parking fee. If you can park in the street and save money parking fee.

The beach and facilities are very nice. If you want to park, it costs $10 otherwise you can park down the road in public parking and walk in for free. We were not allowed to launch our paddle board from the beach, even outside the roped off swimming area. We were told to go to the boat launch, which had a lot of boat traffic and was not very safe. Unclear why you could not launch here.

Nice clean beach with a beautiful view. We got there when it opened at 10am and by noon it was pretty busy for a monday. Good time overall.
Jayme Madden — Google review
Definitely get there early for a good spot. But you are not allowed in the water till 10:00am or after depending on when the life guard is ready. There are 3 sections and each has a lifeguard. The lifeguard for our section wasn't "ready" till after 10:30. The beach is clean and the bathrooms are nice. It was super crowded but the time we left at noon.
Elle Town — Google review
There is a $10 parking fee to get access to the beach. But considering the location and the inconvenience of parking at any other place in this area, $10 is well worthy. However, the beach amenities are all closed and out service. There are no showers (can you imagine?) no running water to rinse the sand off your feet and, on top of everything, they close the bathrooms and locker rooms 30 minutes before the beach is closed (beach is closed by 6:00 pm).
In addition, for some bizarre reason, the city of Lake George, thought that implementing a fence barrier around the beach was a great idea for social distance. Now it looks like a prison in Alcatraz (I am not kidding!). Once inside the beach, around 4:45 pm the lifeguards make an announcement that a section of the beach is closed and off limits to all the children wading in it. There is no explanation given as to why they do it. (unless, of course, they are trying to go home early). It was aggravating for many people and families at the beach.
This was our first visit to Lake George, and unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. They need to improve the experience by removing the fence immediately, open the bathroom showers and keep the beach open until closing time.

This beach is a nice place to visit in the summer months. There are various parking lots, some near wooded areas with picnic tables and grills. The beach itself is very small but considering it's in upstate New York, it's a nice size. Very clean, nice sand, great place to get some sun.
Magic Forest is a classic amusement park for children aged 2 to 10, featuring a train ride through the forest, various rides and play areas, and displays depicting popular stories. Although the rides may be slightly outdated, kids still enjoy them tremendously. The park is reasonably priced with minimal wait times. Tall trees in the park provide shade on hot days while the restaurant offers basic food options at affordable prices. Visitors are urged not to miss out on the Magic Show and diving horse performances.
We loved the dinosaur part of the park the most! Perfect for kids and anyone who loves dinosaurs. Stroll through the forster where you can hear and see real-life moving dinosaurs 🦕 There is a playground, fossils site where kids can play in the sand, and a nice craft activity building. Hike through the forest is paved so good for strollers/wheelchair, and it is mostly shaded. There are benches and restrooms. We loved it there and spent a good couple of hours. Worth visiting :)

What a gem. Perfect day of fun for a young child. Almost all of the rides are for little kids. Both shows were fun - even for adults. The food is reasonably-priced and satisfying. The dinosaur animatronics are incredible. Everyone who worked there was out-of-their-way friendly and welcoming.

Perfect little adventure for a one and a half year old. He could go on many rides alone and I joined him for a few. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It wasn’t very busy so we didn’t wait for any rides. The Dino park was awesome! Lots of shade. One of my only recommendations is to provide some sort of info regarding the Dino park - some of the hills were a bit challenging for one of my family members. The amusement park portion has an older feel and some of the old attractions that no longer work could be discarded (the horse pool area) but overall a great experience!

Very nice park for kids 2 to 10 years old. The rides are a little old and dated but the kids love it. The price is very reasonable and there is hardly any waiting time. For 20$ you can't get a better deal. The park has lots of tall trees and on a hot July day it's very nice and cool. The restaurant has limited selection but the basics are covered and the prices are very reasonabe. Remember to get there for the Magic show and the diving horse. It's a great deal. I will be back.

So cute for kids 2-10ish. All rides they can go one, dinosaur set up to walk through. Not slamming food, drinks and snacks down your throat. It was much needed kid fun that didn’t overwhelm the adults. Barely any lines. Walked right on everything. Workers were friendly and helpful. We arrived at 11 and left at 3:30 and felt that was a good amount of time. Ticket includes all the rides, stories, and fun. Only thing extra was the gem search mining and the face pairing. Also expeditions but I didn’t see any, really.
It seemed like “the magic forest” part was roped off due to safety? Maintenance? Or maybe they are transitioning out of not using it anymore? We were disappointed to miss this part but seems safety upgrades such as fence around the winding path and renovation of old buildings is needed to get it up and running as expected. Needless to say, we felt we spent just enough time there to cover everything.
Where all the misfit and old rides at amusement parks around the nation go to live out their life. I would def. Recommend to parents or those looking to entertain the littles but not worry too much about being a kid.
We loved it. All adults and kids were thankful
For the find.

Granville school took their class feild trip here for 1st and kindergarten, they closed the whole park down at 2:00 P.M just after the buses left despite many people staying with their kids after. Last year they closed at 4:00 P. M with the same field trip, which was alot more respectable. They also increased their admission price by 50% for this year. Rating one star for being super stingy... Rising prices and closing earlyer. Very disappointed.

What an absolutely amazing amusement park! I just spent 5 hours exploring this amazing park with my four and six-year-old today. We did most of the rides, several times over, Dino Roar Valley (which was unbelievable), saw a magic show AND met Santa!!! He has a cute little workshop where we made Christmas ornaments, wrote him a letter and put it Santa mailbox. I was worried that the park wouldn't have a lot of rides or would be too "babyish" for my kids but my worries were put to rest once I pulled into the parking lot. AND what you see from the roads/parking lot is just the tip of the iceberg. This amusement park is under the cover of this amazing forest so you're not walking around in the beating Sun all day, it's cool, comfortable, it was not crowded and my kids were able to go on most of the rides over and over again. Once or twice I had to go on a ride because my daughter is only 40 inches, I believe 48 inches rides without an adult, but there was only two rides out of the 10+ rides that they went on that they need me to go with her . There were some that we didn't even get to! We've been coming to Lake George for 3 years and I can't believe I never knew about this park until now. WE WILL BE BACK again and again and again. The price is $40 per person / child and kids under two are free. They have a Snack Shack with very pleasant employees where you can get popcorn, cotton candy, water, slushies, soda, hot food all for a very very reasonable price. Two kids popcorn, a regular box of popcorn and two large drinks was $12 . The magic show was cute, the magician even called a few of the kids on stage so it made them feel really special. Last but not least, the dinosaurs are not to be missed! it's a bit of a walk down around and back up a path through the forest but just the sight of them with the animatronics was stunning. They even have a little show towards the end of the path that's cute for kids and nice to sit and take a break. It's in an open seating theater outside and they even bring out a "real dinosaur" (Roary). There is a huge parking lot in front with no charge to park, every single employee we came in contact with was helpful and friendly. The park is clean, kept up and you can tell that they care about maintaining the appearance and the rides so they give each guest the best experience. All of these attractions, rides and shows were well worth the $40 per person admission price. Just a wonderful place to spend the day!

This is a sweet little park, the kiddie rides are just enough thrill for smaller kids and there are a few rides for older kids that are great. I dig vintage and there was a lot of that, but still maintained. It was mostly shaded which is nice on a hot summer day, the lines were short, the food reasonable. I miss the quirky characters, but the dino walk was effective and fun. I'm glad the problematic animal stuff has been removed. We would go back in a second!

We had such a great time here. This is a perfect kids park, with so many fun rides for young kids. We had a blast watching the kids run around and get on al the rides. It has that “old time” amusement park feel in all the best ways.
We enjoyed the magic show, got our faces painted, and saw all the dinosaurs too. Would absolutely go back. (Again, just keep in mind this park is definitely for kids. Maybe up to age 8 or 9 ish, max.)

Dino Roar Valley was great. The animated dinosaurs along the trail are cool. The walk is long enough but, not too long. I've seen many animated dinos but, a couple of these were huge. Also it was nice that many of the old rides and attractions remain. Nice that my grandchildren were able to experience since of what my children and I did! They have done a nice job of mixing new and old. This park is perfect for younger children.
If you're looking for a unique Lake George tourist attraction that will give you the creeps, the House of Frankenstein Wax Museum is the perfect place to go. This museum takes classic horror stories and turns them into horrifying true life wax figures. Be prepared for special effects that will leave you spooked all summer long!
I love this place! I was in New York on business and drove to Lake George just to see this before heading back to Pittsburgh and it was definitely worth the trip. The exhibits were realistic and definitely gave me a scare quite a few times. I'm not sure this would be appropriate for small children. It was inexpensive and took about 45 minutes to get through. There's parking, lots of places to eat, shop, and entertain nearby. This quick visit turned into an entire day in Lake George and it was WONDERFUL!

I love this wax museum, it’s a must stop for me anytime I visit Lake George! It’s nostalgic for me, and I’m not surprised they have been open since 1973! Frankenstein used to be greeting guests and passing tourists at the entrance, I did not see him this visit hopefully he will be back! Much of the theme is historic execution methods, sprinkled with other historic tails of terror. I don’t find it to be scary in the least, but it may be to youngsters or the faint hearted! It’s an inexpensive fun little stop for anyone visiting Lake George. They used to have a second attraction, the haunted house just up the street. Sadly that is now being used for office space, I would imagine ghosts of the past still roam the halls! I will continue to stop in every visit in hopes they will continue the tradition!

Be forewarned that some of the exhibits are not for small children and might even upset some adults as well. This along with the warning about strobing lights are written clearly before you buy your ticket. I love that they have references to older classic movies like Dracula and Frankenstein and the ones I grew up with, like Halloween and Friday the 13th. The figures are very detailed to the likeness of the characters. The price of admission is rather reasonable with the number of exhibits they have, and they have some nice jump scares throughout your experience. I definitely recommend checking this place out for anyone who has a love for horror movies.

This place is THE BEST attraction in Lake George! I go every year and it never gets old. The wax figures are old and it makes them SO much creepier. If they were newer, it wouldn’t have the same creep factor. Unfortunately it says they’re temporarily closed. Hopefully that’s just because it’s not busy season yet. I hope this place never closes!

This place was so much more than we expected. Lots of animation and a creepy haunted house walk through with some jump scares. Not just basic exhibits. Such a cool experience! Highly recommend!

We were walking by and couldn’t resist going in. It was a really cool wax museum and honestly some of the scenes were pretty scary! We loved the spinning room at the end.
We went on a Saturday afternoon in October and not busy - we just bought our tickets and went right in. Super fun and highly recommended!

Amazing creative fun!
The house of Frankenstein is truly a great and fun experience.
Dark hallways, and interactive sights to see through windows and cages.
I would suggest you take your time to watch the animated ghoulish figures as some will entertain.
The further you go the more you will see.
This place is good for small jumps and great laughs for us with dark humor 😉
In my personal opinion the best is at the end of your walk through the house of Frankenstein.
Lake George New York is a fun place to go during the season and i highly recommended that you make this one on the top of your list of visits.

This attraction is absolutely incredible! It's well worth the price for everything you see in there! The scenes are well done, and the jumpscares are really good! I wouldn't recommend it to kids under 13, there is some gore and some scary scenes, but still, VERY FUN AND VERY SCARY! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO A FRIEND!!

My God! I had such a great time! If you love classic horror movies, or history of French torture, you will really love this museum! This is by far one of the best attractions on Lake George! You will not regret taking the 25 minute walk through as this is well worth it! Take your time walking through, and enjoy the horror, because you will really have a great time!
Nestled in Lake George Village, the Lake George Distilling Co has been crafting small-batch spirits since 2012, using locally sourced ingredients. Their country-chic tasting room on Canada Street offers a variety of tastings including moonshines, bourbons, ryes, gin, vodka, and clear rum. During the summer months, visitors can cool off with unique moonshine smoothies blending fruit with flavored moonshines like lemonade or apple pie.
Amazing place. The mango cherry moonshine slushy was so smooth it's dangerous. The staff was crazy friendly. It was like a little party! Cool merchandise. Extremely tasty drinks. The sweet tea and lemonade moonshine are delightful.

I've stopped by this storefront once in 2016 and again in 2017. Both times no one else was in there. The staff on hand was friendly. I did a full tasting in 2016 and ended up getting their "Adirondack Wildfire Whiskey", which I really enjoyed since I love cinnamon. This year I didn't do a tasting and I picked up their "Bullhead Bourbon" on a whim. I'm really enjoying that as well. When I go back in 2018 I'd like to try their "Apple Pie Moonshine", which sounds awesome.

Tastings are $8.00 for 3 varieties & shot glass included to take home. The Lemonade Whiskey is amazing, great summertime drink. Highly recommend!
Michelle M — Google review
$8 for three samples and a souvenir shot glass is a good value. Its made that much better when the samples are high quality. The bourbon was good, smooth and flavorful. The cinnamon moonshine was surprisingly good. But my favorite was the rye. At 100 proof, it was very smooth, great spice and a pepper finish. Would definitely recommend this to whiskey fans in the area.

Wonderful place to stop in for a tasting or cocktail. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, very welcoming. I was a bit skeptical but I tried a mango moonshine slushie, so glad I did, it was a perfect blend of fruit and smooth moonshine.

Stopped in on the afternoon of 7/7. The woman behind the bar was very unwelcoming. Asked if we could sample the frozen drink machine to see what flavor we wanted to buy and the lady stared at me for at least 10 seconds with no expression on her face and then said “no” with the nastiest attitude. We were excited to try this place and the rude woman working totally ruined our experience. We just wanted to taste a straw full of both flavors to decide what one to buy. Would not return.

Black Mountain is a 2,646 ft. peak that offers a scenic hiking trail through ponds and woods up to a fire tower with stunning views of Lake George. The climb can be challenging as it involves walking on rocks, tree roots and inclines but the panoramic view from the top makes all the effort worthwhile. Visitors are treated with two different breath-taking vistas- one looking north and another on the other side near the weather station.
Black Mountain is a challenging hike on Lake George. It offers one of the best views of any mountain on Lake George! From the summit on a clear day you can see the Northern end of Lake George and the high peaks of the Adirondacks. It is possible to see the boat traffic on Lake George as well. The mountain is home to an old fire tower which is no longer in use.
Altogether, it is a 3.6 mile round trip to the summit. It is somewhat steep, rocky, and often muddy in parts. If doing the hike come prepared. There is cell service on the summit of the mountain, but not on the rest of the hike.
There are other trails that are very nice in Black Mountain area. Most of these trails go to nearby ponds. These area do not get as many hikers and some to choose to camp in these areas. Some of the ponds in the area offer trout fishing. If interested in these check a trail map and be prepared to camp.
It would be great if they could restore the fire tower so that hikers could use it again. It would be a great to have a 360* view of the area and see both ends of Lake George. I hope there is a possibility of some day opening it to the public.

This is a muddy yet easy hike. It takes a few hours and is perfect for kids who like to get dirty. The view at the top is pretty good.

Smelled like weed at the top, but other than that it was absolutely beautiful, and I burned like 2000 calories climbing it so that's also a plus
Ian Mancuso — Google review
Lots of rock to walk over. It starts easy, gets more difficult with inclines either on top of rocks or tree roots. You are rewarded with a view looking north. There is another view on the other side of the weather station.

Nice hike. Too bad the fire tower is now a radio tower and the windmill noise is annoying. Nice views of Lake George. I would suggest Shelving Rock which also has great views of Lake George without the windmill noise.

Relatively a short hike to a rewarding view of Lake George. Trail was very muddy and appears prone to getting muddy after some rain. Suggest researching the trail on Alltrails before going

Spent many days on Black mountain in the late 60's early 70's when my grandfather worked for the Forestry dept. And lived on the mountain. The views from the firetower ( winters & summers) still remain with me and Climbing those stairs seemed like forever as a youngster. His ashes are now part of that mountain.
The Lake George Historical Association is a museum located in the heart of Lake George village and housed in a circa-1845 courthouse. It boasts an extensive collection of local historical artifacts, including written material, and offers tours and events. The museum features exhibits on topics such as Georgia O'Keeffe & Alfred Stieglitz, water-related themes, Native American tribes, and the Suffrage movement in NY state.
The Lake George Historical Association Museum is a great little museum in the village of Lake George. Located on Canada Street the museum offers a nice change of pace from some of the other tourist sites of Lake George. Best of all it is free of charge!
The museum is located in a historic courthouse. Some of the unique artifacts in the museum include an Iroquois canoe, Native American arrowheads, a cannonball from the French and Indian War, historic rowboats, paintings of Lake George, Georgi the Lake Monster, and perhaps best of all jail cells going back to the 1840's! The museum offers plenty of other novelties that cannot be seen anywhere else. All together there are about five rooms of different displays. A scavenger hunt is offered for all ages in the museum to help you through it. There is a bookstore located in the museum as well, which has many books on the Lake George area. If you're visiting downtown Lake George you should stop here. It adds so much to the village of Lake George.

Great little museum in the heart of Lake George village! Georgia O’Keeffe & Alfred Stieglitz exhibit, one on the waters, an exhibit on Native tribes, & one on the Suffrage movement in NY state. No A/C. Good book shop. Free, donations appreciated!

Fascinating with a wide and deep collection of artefacts and written material. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. I bought a whack of books which have greatly increased my understanding of the French and Indian War, and, on particular, the role of the remarkably modern and broadly capable William Johnson.

It looks awesome from the outside. I live hours North, and I've visited Lake George at least 3 times in the last couple years, specifically to visit The Patriot, at the appropriate hours according to the website and also Google..and it just never seems to be open! just keep that in mind if you're traveling to visit the store.

While on vacation in lake george this summer I saw a sign for a army surplus store/museum and I decided to check it out. WOW is all I can say the collection of artifacts in this place is unbelievable, they have a bit of everything but if you're interested in WWII history this is your place. They have some very unique pieces and a lot of them are for sale. I picked up a few small things for my nephews collection. If you're walking down the strip in lake george you have to check this place out.

The ladies at the chamber office and the visiors center we're knowledgeable and we'll informed nit only of Lake George,but the surrounding area as well.
The Log Jam Restaurant, a log cabin establishment in the Lake George Saratoga region, offers traditional American cuisine. With a wide variety of dishes ranging from salads to steaks, this restaurant takes pride in its Adirondack ambiance. The rustic atmosphere is enhanced by old-fashioned features such as pot-belly stoves and wood plank floors. Pine logs from the nearby mountains surround guests, creating an authentic dining experience. Three large stone fireplaces add a touch of romance to the setting.
Very crowded table spacing on a busy Sat night- a lot of chair bumping as folks made their way to and from salad bar. Our meals were good with very large serving sizes . We had the Salmon and pork chop dinners along with stuffed mushroom app ( very good ). Not sure where the fine dining description applies as we had a number of folks sitting nearby that would not fit that bill - greasy baseball hats and dirty clothing, faces 3 inches from plate while shoveling in their salads........ altogether a rather unpleasant experience . Service was very good , pleasant and efficient.

Wonderful experience all around. The server Matt was personable, pleasant and had a great sense of humor. Atmosphere was cozy warm and comfortable.
I setup reservations 2 weeks in advance for the table near the fireplace which was a perfect pick.
Food was well cooked to our liking. Exactly how we like our steak and prime rib. Both were very tender and juicy. Onion rings were delish, along with the button mushrooms, Adirondack wedges, salad bar with excellent choices to choose from and cold plates to keep your salad cold while you eat it. Drinks were splendid. Well put together. My fiance birthday dinner even had a special dessert pick.
Thank you the the staff and restaurant for making our experience excellent.

We stopped at The Log Jam for Lunch. My bride had a French Dip sandwich and I had a burger special. We both were very happy with our meals. All meals, even burgers and sandwiches, include the salad bar. The salad bar is very nice with a decent selection of quality items. I had a Caesar salad, marinated mushrooms and a wild rice salad. Everything was delicious! They make their own salads and dressings. and they were very flavorful without being overly salty which is typically the case. We will definitely stop again when in the area.

We stopped by for lunch. The interior design of the space is very lovely cabin-like. The salad bar is very good. The waiter was very nice and attentive. I order crab cake and it was okay, dry, flat and very salty. The sandwich my husband got was very good. The kid's food was okay. The ice cream was good. Overall it was a good experience.

Very cute restaurant. Quaint atmosphere. I ate in the green room which is full of beautiful green plants and right next to the all you can eat salad bar. Had a nice selection of salad fixings. Also tried the Adirondack poutine. The potatoes were little squares, not fries. The beef was yummy. I would come here again as a nice little place to eat while taking a break from all the shopping nearby

Laurie or Lory(i) the waitress was amazing! My family came from Boston to see Lake George and we got hungry so we decided to try this place out. Service getting to us was a little bit slow. But our waitress Laurie/Lory/Lori was amazing to us. Gave us great service, made us feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic, the salad bar is a must get. The appetizers of steamed clams, escargot, crab stuffed mushrooms are worth your money. The baby back ribs are bang for your buck, the beer battered onion rings were cooked to perfection, french dip was juicy and the fries that came with it were crispy and fluffy, the poutine I couldn't even finish it, is great for sharing. All in all the family and I would love to come back to try out the steaks next time

The salad bar is great, but a few cold sandwiches paired with potato chips are included among the "dinner" options--more hot sandwiches should be included.
The "Rituals" chamomile tea is delicious! The employees were pleasant and professional, both on the phone (important!) and in person. Making a reservation was easy. Note that this place is big and has a section that resembles a greenhouse: walk around and explore!

Convenient spot to eat while shopping or passing through. Great salad bar with lots to offer. I got the surf and turf. Crab cakes were ok. Sirloin was a bit over cooked. I asked for medium rare came out closer to well done.

The much talked about restaurant in Lake George area. Great value for money. All sandwiches and entrees include the famous bottomless salad bar, choice of potato, rice or vege side. You can also just have the salad bar as your meal for $14. Definitely an amazing value. Food was great. Steak was perfectly done. Cheesecake was also very good.

We stopped in to this fav restaurant for "linner" on 12/31/23. We asked to sit next to the fireplace and were accommodated. We ordered their generously stuffed lobster rolls, which came with soup and salad bar. The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was festive and perfect for a chilly new year's eve day up north. We highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone who just wants to chill. Happy 2024 to the very cool and efficient staff of the Log Jam Restaurant in Lake George, NY.

Food was good, salad bar is always my favorite. I was disappointed in the AppleCrisp it was bland & the apples were cut weird, to many uncooked oats in it also. My Fiancée Prime Rib was cooked perfectly, my Sirloin Mushroom meal was good with intrestesting flavor. Of course the Chocolate Mousse was the BEST

The building is roughly the size of a ranch style house. It contains several vendors, each selling their niche antiques. Unlike many other antique shops, the lighting is bright, and there is no musty smell. Most sell locally themed things like postcards, angling and trapping things, local amusement park things, and furniture. We like it. You should go when you're in the Lake George area.
