Float Into Summer at One of the Best Tubing Spots Near Lake George This Season
Adirondack Adventure Center's Riverfront Land Purchase Delivers
Adirondack Adventure Center made a significant investment in its future in 2023, purchasing additional land along the Upper Hudson River to enhance its tubing offerings. With improved guest experience, operational capacity, and even safety, they've undoubtedly secured one of the best tubing spots near Lake George.
We recently chatted with owner Dane Morton to check in on how the 2024 season went, and what guests can expect from the 2025 season tubing on the Hudson River!
Tubing Adventures to Remember With an Ultra Efficient Process & Llamas
For owner Morton, the 2024 tubing season was an absolute triumph: “River conditions for the majority of the season were absolutely ideal, and we were able to utilize our new riverfront property very effectively,” he told us.
The additional space allowed Adirondack Adventure Center to offer more trips throughout the day, providing visitors with greater flexibility and convenience - this is just one of the reasons why they excel at providing the best Lake George tubing experiences.
Morton and his staff frequently asked guests for feedback, and were thrilled to find that they appreciated the smoother process, from the bus ride to the ease of getting into the water.
Benefits of this additional land space include:
- Self-guided tubing tours are now offered (not typically an option with most tubing companies) - stop wherever you want, for however long you want
- More bang for your buck by being able to stay on the water longer if you choose
- Smoother bus ride to the put-in - all on paved roads - no more dirt roads!
The new property also provides an added bonus: “We had a few of our pet llamas chilling out right where the bus drops everyone off, so our guests had the opportunity to feed Willow and Journey before they hopped on the river!”
Reminder: Adirondack Adventure Center Is More Than Just Tubing
The fun doesn’t just revolve around river tubing: Adirondack Adventure Center also offers whitewater rafting and treetop adventures. They even feature discounts if you combine adventures!
In addition, they have a deli/convenience store on site, Harris Grocery, with snacks, meals, and drinks. You’re also allowed to bring your own (just no glass allowed).
Whatever adventure you’re choosing, Adirondack Adventure Center ensures the entire process is smooth, seamless, and convenient.
A Commitment to Conservation & Community - And Riverfest!
Another exciting development at Adirondack Adventure Center is the first annual Riverfest event, coming up on June 21, 2025.
Proceeds from the event go to the Morgan Duke Conservation Society, an organization that plays a crucial role in maintaining and preserving the natural resources of the region, particularly along the Upper Hudson River. Morton’s long-standing relationship with the Morgan Duke Conservation Society has been a key motivator for hosting Riverfest.
“Over a decade ago, I got word that they were doing a tree planting and saw it as a good opportunity to give back to the area,” Morton recalls. “It was a very rewarding experience and ever since then, I’ve been a big supporter of the organization.”
Riverfest provides a platform for the local community to come together and raise awareness about the vital conservation efforts that help preserve the Adirondacks’ natural beauty for generations to come.
Admission to Riverfest is free, and residents of Lake Luzerne, Hadley, and Stony Creek are able to enjoy tubing and railbiking for free; a fee will apply for non-residents, just for those activities.
Looking Ahead: Expanding & Innovating
As for what’s next for the Adirondack Adventure Center, Morton is keeping things under wraps for now, but there are certainly more exciting developments in the works!
“We are always looking for ways to expand and improve our guest experience,” he says. “We definitely have some really cool ideas for the future, but they aren’t quite ready to be announced yet, so stay tuned!”
For the time being, guests can continue to enjoy the expanded tubing options and thrilling additional adventures.
