Lake George is a place where each season offers something new for travelers. Summer is peak travel time, when families from across the Northeast come to splash around the Adirondacks. As the weather in Lake George cools, fall takes over with vibrant foliage and harvest festivals, and then winter opens up a whole new set of adventures. No matter when you visit, there’s a reason to come. The only challenge is deciding between them. To help you find your season, our team at Surfside on the Lake has put together this guide on what to expect each season and the average temperatures each month. Select the one that matches your interests and book your stay at our lakefront hotel in Lake George.
Summer
Summer is peak vacation season in Lake George, offering everything you love about the Adirondacks in one destination. Families can enjoy a wide variety of activities during the summer like water sports, amusement parks, fireworks, live music, hiking, biking, and ziplining. Keep in mind that peak season also means the highest prices and the biggest crowds. Read through our summer vacation blogs and find inspiration for your summer stay.
