Duck Inside a Museum or Art Gallery
Spring weather can be unpredictable in the Lake George region, with rain or even snow a distinct possibility. Have some indoor options on the docket, including local museums like The Hyde Collection and The Chapman Museum. (You can also visit them when it's nice out!)
Bring Back the Fun of Bowling (or Find More Indoor Fun)
Are you high school sweethearts? Even if you're not, you can reminisce together over the days of your yesteryears when you'd enjoy a wholesome bowling game - other indoor attractions. Lake George Lanes & Games is where you'll want to go for nostalgia and a bit of competition.
Take Your Best Swing (or Putt) Mini Golfing

It's Summertime Lovin' by the Lake - Lake George, That Is
Hike Your Way to the Top of a Mountain
Yes, you can take a hike on one of the many trails or mountains in the area. Or, you can kick the experience up a notch by heading out super early to gaze at an Instagrammable sunrise. Cat Mountain in Bolton Landing is pictured above.
Ride on From Lake George to Glens Falls
Bring your bicycles or rent and hit the bikeway - the Warren County Bikeway, that is. The biking and hiking trail runs about 10 miles from Lake George to Glens Falls, and there are other bike trails close by.
Cross Parasailing Off the Bucket List
Parasailing Adventures offers the unique chance to see Lake George from 300 feet above. When you look back on your lives and adventures together, this experience is sure to rank towards the top. Although we think of this as a summer activity, parasailing typically opens for the season in early May.
Cool Off With a Sweet Treat
Sometimes the best dates are the simple ones. When you're ready to switch gears from summiting mountains and parasailing over the lake, grab a couple of ice cream cones from one of several spots in the Village - or go on a full ice cream trail excursion.
Relax on the Beach
When it's too hot to move, head to one of Lake George's beaches with a giant umbrella in one hand and a large towel in the other. Enjoy mountain and water sights as you take advantage of your downtime.
Fall in Love With Autumn in the Southern Adirondacks
Get Spooked on a Ghost Tour
Fort William Henry Museum is the prime Lake George haunted hotspot that offers guided ghost tours. It won't be too scary making your way around the 18th century fortress at night if you have your partner in crime next to you, right?
Cheers to Your Coupledom
Although you can visit nearly any winery, brewery, or distillery year-round, we love the idea of a fall wine tasting date at Adirondack Winery. If you're visiting in October make sure to take advantage of their limited edition Drink Pink wines for a great cause.
Strap on Your Riding Boots
Remember that sleigh ride you can take in the winter? The same company, Circle B Ranch, offers horseback riding as well - as do other area businesses. Stroll along a scenic trail and take in the foliage in a whole new way.
Lose Yourselves in a Corn Maze
Speaking of the foliage, our last two recommendations for fall take you on a picturesque drive to your destination. Work together to solve the clues in Fort Ticonderoga's corn maze, about an hour north of Lake George. The maze is typically open August through October.
View the Foliage in a Special Way
Gore Mountain, about 35 minutes from Lake George in North Creek, provides scenic skyrides on chairlifts and gondolas during the fall. It's you, your favorite person, and vibrant colors as far as the eye can see.
