Autumn on the Lake Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Adirondack Photo - Lake George, New York
Quote:
Although Lake George, located in Warren County, New York, is typically known as a summer getaway town, it is also a lovely place to relax and enjoy fall foliage. Flaming reds, golden yellows and oranges pop in a dazzlingly array against the clear, cool, blue autumn sky. It’s a great time for drinking in the stunning foliage show put on by Mother Nature. The southern end of Lake George, known as Lake George Village and located at the southern base of the Adirondack mountain range, where we stayed, is alive with things to do and see, including shops, museums, and what has got to be the most beautiful lake in America. And, from kayaking to boat cruises to fishing charters to boat rentals...Read More

Wingate Inn Lake George Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Wingate Lake George"

Quote:
We stayed at one of Lake George’s newest hotels, the Wingate by Wyndham. Nestled in the woods at the southern end of breathtaking Lake George, the Wingate is only minutes from the village; far enough to enjoy the tranquility of this new, full-featured hotel, off the beaten path, but right in the heart of all Lake George has to offer. The hotel has the amenities one comes to expect in 2007: a free expanded breakfast buffet, indoor heated pool and whirlpool, outdoor heated pool, gift shop, self laundry, fitness center, free 24-hour business center, and conference rooms. We spent two nights here, over a weekend, and enjoyed our stay. Being recently opened, in May 2007, the hotel was i...Read More

Montcalm Restaurant Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Montcalm Restuarant"

Quote:
On our last day in Lake George, as we were driving back to the city, we were looking for a place to eat. Driving down Route 9, we passed several places that were too busy, too generic (i.e. McDonalds, Burger King, etc.), or otherwise unacceptable and ended up at the Montcalm - down by the 6-Flags area. The restaurant didn’t look like much from the outside- just a regular brick building with large windows and a small parking area out front. Stepping inside, we find that the décor looked like something out of a retirement community. Not ones to be deterred by the old-fashioned, hand-me-down look, however, we decided to try it out. And, well, we were hungry. Perhaps our hunger clouded our good ...Read More

The Lake George Steamboat Company offers a variety of cruises on their 3 large cruise ships, called the Minnie-Ha-Ha, the Mohican, and the lake’s largest ship, the Lac du Saint Sacrement. You can choose from 1-hour fall foliage cruises to 2-hour meal cruises to the only complete tour of historic and scenic Lake George.At midday, we boarded the Saint Sacrement for the 2-hour champagne brunch cruise around the lake. We sailed around Lake George, enjoying a leisurely journey with full narration of the history of the lake (which was hard to hear over the roar of the engines), live entertainment, and great food. We were offered an array of foods, from regular breakfast fare like home fries and...Read More
