This is a typical old-fashioned mini-golf, with the classic windmill-type obstacles.
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!
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.
This amusement park is part of the Enchanted Parks family. It has many different rides including the Boomerang, a roller coaster that goes forwards and then backwards on its track, the Desperado Plunge, a fun water ride, and the Comet, one of the oldest wooden roller coasters in the United States. The Great Escape also contains a water park open for most of the day. There is also a hotel with an indoor water park right across the street.
