Sagamore Hotel

By Susan Breslow Sardone, About.com Guide

Unless you're dedicated skiers, there's not much going on in the Lake George area in winter. Many businesses close for the season. Nonetheless, guests who stay at the Sagamore and want to explore the region can visit:

• Hyde Collection in Glens Falls
• Lake George factory outlets
• Lake Placid Winter Sports Complex
• The Chapman Historical Museum
• Saratoga Performing Arts Center
• The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake (open end of May - October)

During the height of the summer season, the number of visitors to the area picks up (as do rates). The Saratoga Race Track and Adirondack Theater Festival at the Charles R. Wood Theater in Glens Falls provide additional incentive to visit in prime time.
