Historic summer camp founded in 1904 by Dr. Elias G. Brown, one of the oldest continually operating children's camps in the Adirondacks. The camp's waterfront peninsula on Blair's Bay, south of Anthony's Nose, is a notable landmark visible from the lake. Private property; not open to the public.
Adirondack Camp is a coed overnight summer camp located near Glenburnie on Lake George in Putnam Station, New York. Founded in 1904 by Dr. Elias G. Brown, it is one of the oldest continually operating children's camps in the Adirondacks. Between 1900 and 1910, at least nine boys' camps were established across the Adirondacks; Adirondack Camp is one of only two from that era still in operation.

This is a great way to get out on your own and check out the lake. Just be sure that you can handle all the paddling, and watch out which way the wind is blowing because it can take a lot longer to get back to shore if the wind is against you.
Rafting trips on the Hudson and Sacandaga rivers include equipment, meals and experienced guides. Family-owned and operated since 1984.
Considered by some locals to be Lake George’s “claim to fame” is the authentic Steamboat Company, always a tourist attraction (so be ready for a crowd). Founded in 1817 as a commercial shipper, the company now has three passenger vessels for cruises up and down the lake. Each of the three boats is different, though all have some sort of food, drink, shop, and restrooms. Mohican is the oldest of the fleet (indeed, the oldest operating passenger vessel in the country), having plied Lake George's waters for over 110 years. She started life as a propeller-driven steamboat, but was later converted to diesel. Minne-Ha-Ha is one of the last steam paddlewheelers in the country, boasting a classic sternwheel; she hosts the very popular one-hour lake cruises that form the backbone of the schedule. Lac du Saint Sacrement is the newest and largest of the boats, a diesel-powered four-decker that hosts full brunch, lunch, and dinner buffets every day.
is ironically a free beach. Good for sunbathing or swimming and other lake activities. During the summer, there are lifeguards, showers, a bath house, and restrooms. There is also a sand bar that reaches out into the lake that you can walk along.
This is in Lake George Village and has a fantastic mini-golf course with obstacles representing famous landmarks.
A mid-20th-century replica of the original mid-18th-century fort, built by the British to counter the French presence in northern New York at the beginning of the French and Indian War. The fort was burned down in 1757, and the ruins remained for nearly 200 years before the replica was built using the original plans and footprint. Now you can take guided tours (or a special haunted tour), peruse the museum exhibits of artifacts and history, and witness reenactments of daily fort activities like firing of muskets and cannon. Oh, and visit the gift shop, of course!
