If you've got kids in tow, you can't get away without visiting the Great Escape and Splashwater Kingdom, New York's largest amusement park. Then, take your pick of recreation: parasailing, fishing, diving, jet skiing, hiking, golfing, minigolf, horseback riding and more. Before plunging into the myriad activities in this family-friendly town, start off with a relaxing lake cruise to learn about the area. A significant player in American history, Lake George is the site of two great forts, Fort William Henry and Fort Ticonderoga, both open to the public. This 32-mile-long 'Queen of American Lakes' is chock-full of lodging, attractions, eateries and just about any form of recreation you can name.
When people find a great vacation getaway, they keep coming back.
