4 days in Lake George Itinerary

A playground for America’s wealthy families, Lake George was nicknamed "Queen of the American Lakes." While these families often stayed in private country houses, a tourism industry built up around them in the early 20th century facilitated by two YMCAs.

Your list of things to see and do now includes ADK Aquatics, Shelving Rock Falls, Lake George Shoreline Cruises, and other attractions. Step out of Lake George to go to Manchester and see Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home, which is approximately 1h 10 min away. There's much more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Lake George, get engrossed in the history at The Fort William Henry Museum & Restoration, and take in the awesome beauty at Prospect Mountain.
