    Lake George

    Lake George has been a vacation paradise for almost two centuries! Families come to experience the many lakeside activities, including beaches and fishing, or to get out on the lake for a ride on a classic paddleboat or in a pontoon boat or canoe. The views surrounding the "beautiful water" are breathtaking, a perfect postcard of Adirondack wilderness. The hotels, cabins, and campsites offer something for every type of traveler, and the charming lakeside towns offer plenty of fun activities. The view of pristine Lake George gets even better from the water. See for yourself with the Lake George Steamboat Company.

    Niagara Falls (Cave of the Winds) 5 Cont

    Cave of the Winds
    If you want to get REALLY CLOSE and personal, check out Cave of the Winds. Interestingly, "Cave of the Winds" gets its name because in the 1800's there was a rock overhang --or a cave-like structure-- that allowed people to stand under the Falls. The Cave collapsed in the early 1900s, but the name stuck! This is guaranteed to be a soaker, but it is well worth it! It was my most unique experience by the Niagara Falls area and with any waterfalls, Watch the falls at night if you think the Falls put on a show by day, wait until you see Niagara Falls at night. Niagara Falls’ nightly illuminations transform the water wonder into a kaleidoscopic cascade of color — 365 nights a year. Talk about photogenic: From the Horseshoe Falls in frozen ice-white to the American Falls in red, white and blue, your perfect social media shot awaits you! Out late? Enjoy the Niagara Falls night lights until 2 a.m.
