    FALL AROUND LAKE GEORGE
    by travel-bugg
    I loved being in Lake George during the fall because of all the rich tree colors: gold, orange, red. Take advantage of the crisp weather in September and October and go on a hike.

    There are trails for all levels of hikers and you'll appreciate the views from nearly all paths.

    One of my favorite fall trips!

    Don't just look at it - get out on a boat! Even though it was cold and getting dark by the time we left, we were glad we took the Lac du Saint Sacrement steamboat ride to see this natural beauty properly.

    We were in Lake George at the end of September - perfect for fall foliage, but not much else. Many shops had already begun to close, and the town was relatively empty.

    This is the second time I've chosen the Beaver Brook Outfitters as our guide. The guides are great, they are reliable, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. They were the funniest guides on that river.

    Whitewater rafting on the Hudson River Gorge.
    This picture was taken halfway through our trip, this is when we rested and had a little snack.

    Dr. Morbid's Haunted House
    ArtiAbsinthium
  • Updated By ArtiAbsinthium on March 8, 2005
  • Lake George Page by ArtiAbsinthium
  • According to the story, it's the house owned by mad waxwork maker Willy S. Morbid, who started using first corpses and eventually live people as the bases for his waxworks. This place is full of thrills and chills, from the moment you open the door and walk down the dark, creepy hallway. You're greeted by a sinister tour guide who leads you through the haunted House of Wax and the surrounding "woods," where you are occasionally harrassed by evil spirits and surprised by corpses popping out of various settings.

    This is one of my absolute favourite places to go in Lake George, even though the first tour I took was so scary I almost couldn't go back. As long as your not too easily scared (and I'm a pretty big wimp, and I managed to get through) and don't have a heart condition or epilepsy, you need to check this place out!

    Miniature Golf Madness!

  • Updated By ArtiAbsinthium on March 8, 2005
  • Lake George Page by ArtiAbsinthium
  • If there's such a thing as the mini-golf capital of New York State, Lake George Village is it. There is practically a miniature golf course on every corner, with a wide variety of themes ranging from pirates to American landmarks. If you like miniature golf, Lake George is paradise.

    House of Frankenstein Wax Museum
    ArtiAbsinthium
  • By ArtiAbsinthium on March 8, 2005
  • Lake George Page by ArtiAbsinthium
  • If you're a fan of classic horror movies (especially those made by Universal in the 1930s), then don't miss this fantastic wax museum. It pays homage to all the horror greats, and features a chamber of historical horrors and torture exhibits as well as the disturbing Black Hole. At the same time, the House of Frankenstein isn't as scary as it's sister site, Dr. Morbid's. It is, however, actually haunted, so perhaps you'll see a real ghost!

    Just look for Frankenstein's Monster. He's usually outside saying hi to pedestrians and posing for pictures.
