Lake George, New York - Lake George NY Family Vacation

Preview: The Lake George, New York, area offers families a rare combination —hundreds of thousands of acres of woodlands, ponds, and lakes plus a first-class family hotel, the Sagamore resort, in Bolton Landing. The 32-mile-long Lake George is part of upstate New York’s Adirondack Park, six million acres of private and state-owned land, approximately 60 percent of which is wilderness. These forests, islands, and mountains provide families with ample opportunities to enjoy the fall foliage The first thing you must do, however, especially if you approach the lake from the south, is to have faith. You must believe that there are undeveloped parcels beyond the village of Lake George, a town choked with motels, cottage colonies, eateries, and souvenir shops. Just a short drive north takes you to Bolton Landing, a less-developed area, and beyond that you find quiet lakeside villages, natural shoreline, and thickly wooded mountains. This chapter is one complete vacation written with families in mind. It’s loaded with exciting things to do, family-friendly places to lodge and dine, recommended side trips, local sources of information, and detailed travel directions.
