The Best Lake George Water Activities

When the temperatures rise, the waters surrounding Lake George feature plenty of water activities that are inviting to kayakers, swimmers, fishermen, and wildlife explorers.

Cruise with The Morgan

An hour-and-a-half tour peeking over the railing of The Sagamore Resort’s replica nineteenth-century touring vessel, The Morgan, reveals a shoreline full of grand historic mansions, mountainous wilderness, and often-unexplored islands.

Get Hooked on Fishing in The Bays

Justy-Joe Charters offers fishing excursions to the North and South Basins of Lake George. Specializing in light-tackle fishing, they provide guests with custom-made rods to haul in salmon, lake trout, and northern pike.

Parasailing Rides

Flying high above Lake George with 360-degree clear views of the Adirondacks doesn’t have to be done by plane. Instead, hook up with Parasailing Adventures for the lake’s most serene on-the-water experience, done solo or alongside two friends.

Go Tubing or Rent Jet Skis

Waverunners, Inc. offers waverunner and jetski rentals, as well as tubing sessions on the lake out of Chic’s Marina in Bolton Landing.

White Water Rafting

Just 20 minutes west of Lake George, you’ll find daily dam releases on the Sacandaga that guarantee a ride full of Class II and III rapids. With Sacandaga Outdoor Center, it’s the perfect two-hour family excursion where the kids will have to put down their phones to focus.

Underground Rivers

For a hands-on geology lesson, strap on a headlamp and float waist – and then neck – deep in underground caves. Just 20 minutes north of Lake George, the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves takes explorers through three- to four-hour tours into the largest cave entrance in the eastern US. Finish with a relaxing cave float.
