Growing up in Upstate New York, almost everyone has made a day trip to Lake George. When I was a kid, it was a summer weekly day trip to the Million Dollar Beach. It was always such a fun day from early morning arrival to get your spot at the picnic area, to jumping in the cold water of the lake then always ending the day with a walk through the village. Of course, that is not the only thing to do in Lake George. Over the years, there has been so much added to the area, that it might take more than one day to enjoy it.

Here are some must see and do activities for a fun-filled day in Lake George.
