 Lake George is great "Bike
Country"
My favorite spot to bike, is the rolling paved Warren County bikeway
which runs nine wooded miles from Lake George to Glens Falls. Ride from the southern
tip of Lake George along a wooded bike path. Stop and check out the Colonel Williams
Monument - which is a great place for a picnic... or for another historic stop...
Bloody Pond (named so due to a bloody battle which took place at the pond in the French
and Indian War) is a great place to stop in the springtime (the entire pond is surrounded
by lillies.). Later on in the ride you will be rewarded with beautiful views of
Round Pond. Round Pond is a popular spot for fishing as well. For your free
map, call 518 623-2877.The easy flat ride on the Feeder Canal Trail,
has a hard packed gravel surface - so is not suitable for
rollerbladers, but is
great for families. You can obtain your FREE trail map from the Feder Canal Alliance
by calling (518) 792-5363.
For mountain bikers, there is no greater challenge than the dirt
trails of the Adirondack Mountains. Be sure to learn where you can bike by getting
your brochure from the Adirondack Mountain Club. Or
take the gondola up Gore Mountain and bike down or visit Garnet Hill for great biking trails (very
affordable). So, when traveling to Lake George,
don’t forget to bring your bike!
For rollerblading - the Warren County Bike path is the best. But
when weather doesn't cooperate, it's always nice to know you can bring the family to Skateland for rollerskating fun!
Hikers will find great hiking in the nearby Adirondack Mountains - the
