To help you make the most of an unforgettable summer filled with adventure, natural beauty, and endless fun, we’re sharing five exciting activities to help you savor the season - and make it last longer - in and around Lake George.
We can often find ourselves saying, "It feels like it just started," as our summer comes to an end. We blink, and suddenly it's the last day. And when we return to the routine days of fall, it's almost as if summer never happened. Doesn’t it seem like work chases you down no matter where we are?
You may need to get that work done, but it doesn’t have to ruin your fun - or anyone else’s.
