Let's meet at Lake George in the Adirondacks once again for a long weekend of hiking, good food, live music, mini golf, a dinner cruise, drinks, and any form of shenanigans we can conjure!
This year I'm staying at Admiral Hotel, and a few others are already booked at The Lake Motel, across the road from Admiral. But stay wherever you like. Just keep in mind that LG is a popular place, and I heard from a bird that there's a softball tournament on our weekend, so don't wait forever to reserve a room.
I really liked the vibe of The Boathouse Restaurant last year, so our adventure will begin there. Let me know privately if you’ll be joining us and I’ll add you to the headcount.
Also, call the Lake George Steamboat Company to buy a ticket for the Lac du Saint Sacrament (The Saint) dinner cruise Saturday night. Be sure to mention Spirit Hiking so they don’t seat you in the engine room 😆 518-668-5777
Here's a tentative itinerary for the weekend, but you can plan your own activities:
Thursday
6:00 - Dinner at The Boathouse Restaurant - Bolton Landing - followed by live music, drinks, and revelry at The Lake George Beach Club
Friday
9:30 - Hike Prospect Mountain (we'll walk to the trailhead)
1:00 - Lunch at Adirondack Brewery - great pub grub and suds!
3:00 - Tipsy mini golf at Around The World Miniature Golf
6:00 - Back to The Beach Club, or where you like
Saturday
9:30 - Meet to carpool for TBD hike - this one could be more challenging than Friday's
5:30 - Boarding begins for dinner cruise - departs at 6:30 - This is the highlight of the trip!
9:00 - More revelry at the Beach Club, or Duffy's. Or your place!
Sunday - Deep breaths. Depart. Or linger
Lake George is a playground for people of all ages. No one regrets going. Hope to see you there!
