Glorious Winter Fun in Lake George

Visitors familiar with the Lake George area, in New York State’s Adirondack Region, often think of it as a place for summer sun and fun.  They are right; but, there is so much more that they may be missing.

Winter activities include hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails, snow tubing parks, ski resorts, snowshoeing and millions of acres of magnificent scenery.  In addition, warm inns, B&B’s, lodges, cabins and hotels provide a perfect place to snuggle-up after a day of discovering nature’s paradise.

With no experience needed, visitors can take a guided snowshoe hike with a naturalist at Up Yonda Farm Environmental Education Center in Bolton Landing.  The Lake George Winter Carnival offers outdoor enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy snowmobile races, a polar golf tournament, IWPA dog pulls, a giant ice slide and special weekend events.  Ice fishing is also a popular sport in the Lake George area.  Anglers can fish for Northern Pike, Lake Trout and Landlocked Salmon from mid-January through mid-February, while Jack Perch is the catch of choice after mid-February.  

Other popular activities during the winter months include cross-country skiing, ice skating and snow tubing.
