Wow Gate 24 Travel, you did an outstanding job showing Lake George together with eight (8) great things to do there. We live a couple miles north of LG, so we're locals, kinda. Love the video, the voice, the tone and grammatical speech patterns...you nailed it! And, you were even kind enough to recommend the services and food establishments you liked...a very helpful video for visiting tourists. I would highly recommend you use your RUclips documentary talents in other towns...wherever. You are really good at this. Thank you.
Oh my goodness, Sharon! What a truly kind and thoughtful comment and compliment(s) you've given us! I truly appreciate your taking valuable time to watch this video AND leaving this comment. I would definitely say you're locals! :) I haven't considered that suggestion before, but I'm certainly going to share it with my husband. I've already got ideas flowing. I do hope to get back to Lake George this Summer. So maybe we will run into each other! Have a wonderful evening! (Melinda)
My friend just drove his tour bus up to Lake George, the kids will do white water rafting, among other things. Very nice video - thanks for telling people that NY is more than just a metropolis. There's a whole state here of lakes, waterfalls, wildlife, etc. Although I did get my feathers ruffled when you said that the people up north of me refer to Lake George as the Queen of Lakes! Every one has their favorite, but I live in the Finger Lakes region and am a fan of where I live as well! Thanks for sharing your trip. :)
I got such a kick out of your comment, Debbie! :) We live in the Finger Lakes region as well. My husband is from here. After moving here 11 years ago, I've told everyone I know that New York is way more than NYC. It is truly one of the most beautiful states I've ever seen.
You're most welcome, Ashley! I am so glad that you have found some use from our video. It makes my heart so happy to hear that. You and your family will truly enjoy this beautiful region. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Happy travels!
Thanks for a good look at the lake and a bit of the surrounding area. I’ve lived here my entire life and you got most things right. Thanks for posting.
You're most welcome! And thank you for such a kind comment. As someone who lives there, what would you recommend we visit when we are able to next come? Thank you for taking some of your valuable time to watch our video. :) (Melinda)
It seems you enjoyed the boat rides you took. If you have the time i would recommend the 5 hr lake tour offered on The Mohican. It travels the full length of the lake to Baldwin Station where the LG Steamboat co launches and pulls the ships for maintenance. If you pick a nice day (I would recommend early fall or late summer when the crowds are smaller) the ride through the narrows is spectacular. You pass by the Sagamore hotel in Bolton as well as most of the mansions on the lake. I like to sit on the upper deck and listen to the hum of the diesel and dream away 🙂. Around the village take a ride up to Top of the World golf resort for some of the best vistas available looking north up the lake and southeast towards Vermont. It’s not a tourist place and rarely mentioned. It’s about 3 miles north on rt 9n which runs on the east shore. Look for the signs it’s a sharp right up the hill. When you return to the bottom go right and continue along the lake past the bays you view from the top. It breaks away from the lake at Pilot Knob road the last road on the east shore. The ride back to LG is just as nice 😏. There’s a ton of little free things to do to enjoy the incredible beauty of the lake. Have fun!
@@apollomoon1 Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for giving a great, detailed response. This will help so much on our next trip to your neck of the woods. We hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! (Melinda)
Heading up in a couple weeks and was hoping to see something I haven't done yet but still nice to see. We'll hit the fireworks on Thursday night and the concert at Shepard Park on Friday, probably do some mini golf and of course relax in the lake where we're staying downtown. Though the area is not like it used to be not that long ago as it's been built up and the village is missing some character it used to have, we'll still walk around and get an ice cream or two. If you're ever looking for something to do in November, go see the light up the village event, pretty cool.
I am so glad you still enjoyed seeing our video, Big T. :) Sounds like you are going to have a great time in Lake George! I've only been twice, with the first time in 2020. I would have loved to have seen it before it was built up. What is your favorite thing to do there? Thanks for the heads up about the event in November! Hopefully we will get to check that out one day! And thank you for taking the time to leave a great comment! (I am so sorry it has taken a bit to respond. We just returned from a one-week cruise onboard Oasis of The Seas, and we don't purchase internet packages while we are cruising.) ~Melinda
@@Gate24Travel We usually spend a good time at the beach where we stay. Used to go to Golden Sands Resort up 9N a few miles north of the village but have been staying downtown more lately to also make it easier to walk downtown. Mini golf is something my wife and I try to do, a mini championship over the several days, simple fun.
Love it up there. Haven’t been up there in about 2 yrs, but my bf and I would go every year, twice a year in the spring and fall for long weekends. Pretty much did everything you posted.. It’s beautiful up there… We spent Labor Day of 2020, up in Lake Placid and stayed at The Golden Arrow on Mirror Lake.. that was beautiful too
Awww! I sure appreciate your sharing those memories with us. :) We have only been twice. We discovered the area in 2020. Usually we go on cruises for vacation, but because of the "nature of 2020" and all that was going on, we stayed in New York state, and I'm so glad we did! We didn't get to go last year though, but I'm soooo hoping we get to go this year. Words can't describe how beautiful it is. Thank you so much for watching our video, and leaving such a great comment. Take care! (Melinda)
Thank you for the kind compliment! I am so happy to know that our video was helpful to you too. You're most welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and leave a comment!
Hello, Sara! So sorry for the delay in replying. We have been out of the country. You are so welcome! I hope you enjoyed your trip to Lake George. Take care! :) (Melinda)
Thank you so much for the compliment! :) Ten days sounds so wonderful in the Adirondacks! We did not get to go at all this year, sadly. :( Thank you so much for watching our video and for leaving a comment. :) (Melinda)
I think I’d go nuts if I didn’t get up there each year my hope is to retire up there in three years. You should go up again by ale more videos a person can never see enough of the adk
Oh how exciting! :) You can absolutely take the walking path at the edge of the lake all the way from one steamboat company to the other. However, their access is on different streets. The Shoreline Cruises dock can be accessed from Canada Street. There is a nice walking path beside Shepard Park that you can follow to the walkway from Canada Street. After following the path down , just turn to the right at the walkway. The Lake George Steamboat Company dock can be accessed from Beach Road. There is parking right across the street from the dock (for a small fee that is much cheaper than metered parking). We generally park in that public parking lot for our day in Lake George. I sure hope you have fun! Thanks for watching our video and asking a great question in your comment! (Melinda)
Putt putt golf by the steamboat dock. George's steak house is a good place to eat. If you're in shape take a hike on Black Mountain. Or take a ride up the lake to Ticondaroga. Go to Bolton Landing and have lunch a The Sagamore and a cool drink in their Adirondack chairs over looking the lake.Or stop in Hague and have a picnic in the town park.
Unfortunately, we've never heard of that. However, I am glad you mentioned it so that others can look into it if they want to. :) Is there a business name to the campgrounds? Thank you so much! (Melinda)
Ate at Johnny Rockets and it was by far the worst meal we ever had up there.Would never go again to that restaurant . Even sent a report to them and no reply from them.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for letting us know! The last time we were there was July 2020, and it was great. It's always helpful to know if something has changed. (Melinda)

Mi Rancho??? Lol that's like 15 miles away from Lake George. And main Moon Chinese food is like a half hour away in the middle of Glens Falls.
You should narrate audiobooks, I love your style.
Thank you so much for your kind compliment and suggestion, Natalia!
Nice I was just there also

We will be visiting for the first time in a few weeks. Are the steam boat docks with the walking path on Canada Street? Great video😀👍

What? No mention of the boat access only island camping?

@@Gate24Travel It's a state campground...Simple youtube search: Lake George Island camping.. will bring up countless pages..
