r/LakeGeorge

The place lost all its charm under the new owner but it still sucks to see another park lost to housing.

Planning a trip with several families with young children 8 yrs to infant and several 1-2 year olds. Having a hard time understanding what to prioritize. Of course of the budget were unlimited we could have it all. But do we book a big house where we could just drive in to lake george area for the day for activities? Some houses even have a pool in our price range maybe 15 min drive or so away. Do we want water and mountain views? Do we want beach access on site or walking distance and care less about the house? Many waterfront homes have a dock but I worry about how tough that might be with the littles. Beach access if much safer. Many resorts will have a big house option where we could potentially book 2-3 houses/cottages next to each other and still have all the fun kids amenities. The issue is those places have very outdated sites where I have to select exact dates to look up availability or some just aren’t even booking yet for august and I’m afraid to wait as it’s already slim pickins. For reference we are looking for 1 week in Aug 2027. Any advice for a first timer? TIA!

Hi! Looking for a wedding band for early August 2027 in the Lake George area.

Ideally looking for an established band with a consistent lineup, not a rotating group of hired musicians. Musically, we’re looking for a mix of funk, R&B/soul, Phish, Grateful Dead and other groove-heavy music that can keep a wedding crowd dancing.

Preference for a Lake George/Glens Falls/Capital Region band, but open to others.

Recommendations are appreciated, and if you’re in a band that sounds like a fit, feel free to DM me for the date, venue and other details.

Thank you!

We’re planning on spending a few days mid week in September. How easy is it to rent a boat for a few hours? Do they give a quick run down on how to operate the boats?

Hi all - will be in town next week Sat-Tuesday. Looking at the weather, it seems really chilly in the morning and evenings and only getting up to 74 for the high on Sunday.

Planning to bring layers for the morning/evening but wondering if it will be warm enough for the pool/lake in general. Mid-70's sounds super pleasant but maybe not jump in the lake all day weather?

It's my first time going since I was a kid and will be with my 7 year old. Was planning water activities for the most part but may need to start planning some alternatives if it's going to be chilly.

We are arriving for our first family vacation today. Unfortunately, the weather looks to be quite rainy this weekend.

I would greatly appreciate recommendations for rainy day toddler activities in the area. TIA!
