Lakefront Walk – Lake George Village, New York

The shoreline between Lake George and the village of Lake George is a pedestrian walkway perfect for a gentle stroll. In 1986, The State of New York awarded Lake George Village a Waterfront Revitalization grant, and construction of the first section of the Walkway along Beach Road began in 1988.Ten years later, another 650 feet of Walkway was completed, bringing the path up the Western Shore past restaurants, taverns, shops and boat rental businesses. The final stretch, completed in 2004, brought the walkway to Lower Amherst Street just north of Shepard Park.

Lake cruises are available from several locations along the walk

Including an old-fashioned steam ship

Some ships can be booked for weddings

If you prefer more stable rides than on a boat carriage rides are also available

Classic and exotic cars are also a common site

Lake George Cruise – Shoreline Cruises on the Adirondac

Shoreline Cruises out of Lake George, New York offers several different cruises on two boats. We booked the sunset cruise on the Adirondac. The cruise was about an hour long around Lake George. Unfortunately we timed the foliage wrong and booked about a week or two before peak foliage season in the Lake George area. The assessible part of the boat is on the first floor and included bathroom facilities. The snack bar is on an upper level and had only minimal refreshments catering towards mixed alcoholic drinks. No bottled water available.

River Thames Cruise – London, England

We decided to get a nice overview of the city by taking a small boat tour on the River Thames. The hop on hop off boat was a very convenient method to see all the top sites along the river. We hopped on the boat at Tower Bridge.
