Lake George attractions

On this horse ride through the Adirondack woodlands you will pass the original, authentic Adirondack cabins that the family rents out. As you move through the trees you will meander along a variety of trails, ride near peaceful waterways and cross a stream, taking in the changing sights and sounds of each area you pass through. No experience is needed, so the ride will suit first-time riders as well as more advanced riders. It is designed to be relaxing and enjoyable for all ages. Because this is a family-run operation rather than a factory-style get-on/get-off setting, the hosts will do their best to accommodate you. Along the way you will have the chance to form a lasting bond and fond memories with your horse, guided by people who clearly care for their animals and their work.

In Saratoga, you'll follow a location-aware, smartphone-guided walking tour that brings the town's past to life as you move through it. Along the route you'll encounter four springs, historic homes, elegant casinos, museums and striking fountains. As you pass these sites the audio will play automatically, giving you a hands-free, heads-up experience that lets you look around and learn without stopping to fiddle with your device. Along the way you'll hear about local characters and moments that shaped Saratoga — including the boxer Old Smoke, who helped put horse racing on the map, and the spring water craze that launched the town. You'll learn how art enthusiasts influenced the area's creative spirit and you'll hear a few local legends and pieces of folklore. If you are brave enough, the tour will point out the devil’s chair and share the stories that surround it. You can go at your own pace, stopping and starting whenever you like, and the tour never expires.

When you visit Lake George, you can book a tasting at the Adirondack Winery Tasting Room, the region’s first winery and a top-rated attraction in the area. The setting is informal and friendly, making it easy to relax as you enjoy the local scene. A knowledgeable wine tasting associate will lead you through a tasting of the winery’s hand-crafted, award-winning quality wines in a laid-back atmosphere — no pinkies in the air. If you prefer something different, you may sample Extreme Heights Hard Ciders or try American Oak whiskey and bourbons instead. Along the way, you’ll learn about the wines and production style from someone familiar with the region and the winery’s offerings, so you can taste with context and confidence.

This immersive adventure comes from an Austin, TX–based event design company that runs scavenger hunts and other customised events in 300+ cities across North America and beyond. Throughout the experience you will be supported by your own remote, live host who interacts with you via your phone. The company describes each adventure as a hand-crafted blend of tour, creative challenge, detective hunt and social experiment. As you move through the route, you will explore hidden gems off the beaten track and encounter art, history and culture clues that ask for creative interpretation and earn points. Along the way you may spot unusual oddities and moments that prompt laughter and improvisation. You’ll also appear on the website’s international leaderboard, so your team’s name will show up regardless of score, and you can effectively race teams in other cities even if there are no local competitors that day. The format is designed to be flexible, letting you shape the experience and make it your own.
