Lake George
Known as the "Queen of American Lakes," Lake George is consistently rated one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in the country. Though many think of Lake George as a summer vacation destination--and there is plenty to do in the summer months--the area is an all-season spot and host to numerous events throughout the year. Popular attractions around Lake George include Six Flags Great Escape, Martha's Ice Cream, and the Outlets at Lake George. Annual events in Lake George include Americade, the world's largest multi-brand motorcycle touring rally, in the spring; the Adirondack Wine & Food Festival in June; the Nationals Car Show in September; and Winter Carnival.
Adirondacks
The Adirondack Park is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States--greater in size than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier, and Grand Canyon National Park combined. Lake George, at the southern edge of the Park, is a great jumping off point to explore the hiking, fall foliage viewing, and skiing that are popular in the Adirondacks. Climb the High Peaks, ski at Whiteface or Gore, visit the Olympic Center in Lake Placid (home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics), or attend the Adirondack Hot Air Balloon Festival in September.
Saratoga
Saratoga Springs, also known as Spa City, is a charming town about 30 miles from Lake George. Known primarily for the Saratoga Race Course open in the latter half of the summer, it is also home to the Roosevelt Baths & Spa and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC), an outdoor amphitheater for performances by resident companies New York City Ballet, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival, and concerts by Live Nation.
