Plan before you go. Visit a travel agent or look online for hotels and motels in the Lake George area. Check the availability of rooms. Decide what attractions you want to see. Visit the Trip Advisor website for information on the area.
Choose the time of year you want to go. There are things to do all year. Ski or snowmobile in the winter. Hike, boat and swim in the summer. Decide how long you will be there and find the prices ahead of time.
Find accommodations. Set up camp right on the edge of the lake with the mountains as your morning view or vacation in an RV. For something fancier, stay in a hotel or motel. Check for nearby restaurants. See what type of food is available. You can often check the menus online and find the location of restaurants before you arrive.
Find attractions like golfing, shopping or site seeing. Take a hot air balloon over the lake or visit a museum.
Hike through lush forests, up the mountain or around the base of the lake. You can hike any time of year. The sights are amazing.
Take a boat cruise and see the mountains from the water. Water ski, canoe or go white water rafting for further water adventures.
