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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Star Trek Original Series Set Tour (in Ticonderoga), Lake Placid (Olympic Ski Jump Complex & Mirror Lake) and Saratoga Spa State Park (in Saratoga Springs). There's lots more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Lake George, take an in-depth tour of The Fort William Henry Museum & Restoration, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Prospect Mountain, and take a tour by water with Boat Tours & Water Sports.

To find photos, more things to do, reviews, and more tourist information, use the Lake George trip site.

In November, daily temperatures in Lake George can reach 48°F, while at night they dip to 28°F.
