Anyone have any good ideas where to stay?
Where are minyanim located during the summer?
What are the best places to visit/activities for 2 days?
Kosher food?
-
There is no starwood hotels there, & most are old motels, there is a nice Comfort suites there which is good for family with kids its not in the center of lake george town but its very close & its also about a mile away from the minyan
I stayed there 4 years ago when they just opend & again this march on a drive back from montreal
-
minyan only opens after tisha ba'av otherwise there is a belz yeshiva in saratoga springs
I just stayed with a camp at the Ramada in Queensbury about 10 min outside Lake george and it was fine.
Activities: six flags, tubing/rafting on the Hudson, steamboat on Lake George, swimming in the Lake, ropes course about 20 min north called Adirondack Extreme was awesome, fireworks on the lake at 9:30 PM on Thursday and special days, go carting/laser tag at the fun spot or adventure racing in queensbury
-
Hyatt place malta/saratoga is a nice place to stay but i think it is about a 20 minute drive from lake george.
-
In lake george the best lodging for a family would be to rent a cabin. The minyan in in a tent on bloody pond rd. If you prefer to sleep in a motel, the travelodge will give you a discount for mentioning the lake george minyan. In general, its a beautiful place, don't know specific attractions though (the lake). The price chopper there (local grocery store) brings in a relativeky decent selection of kosher food for the summer. Previously, the number for the minyan was (518)522-8478. Call him for more info

Anyone been to Lake George lately?
I'm thinking of doing a quick getaway there on Sunday for like 2-3 days. I haven't a clue about the place and don't have much time to research. Would appreciate any tips such as what to do, where to stay, what's there for kids etc.

I appologize that you guys couldnt understand my question, it should have read WHERE i can find it, as in where on these forums if at all, is these a more comprhensive wiki and the like.
Did you think i would rather type a five line question over a three Word search?
-
Are there any kosher restaurants open in lake George in the summer or do you need to bring your own food?
-
I've stayed in Comfort Suites. They are so used to having Jews they had compiled a binder with the hechsherim of the breakfast foods. I still wanted to see the actual packages. Just don't go during the busiest time to ask them, come in a quieter period and they are not so stressed.
Never went with toddlers, but my kids loved it from age 8 to teenagers.
Fun Spot is great, there is an indoor roller rink, and go carts.
Lots of mini golf.
Great horseback riding.
Best part is to rent a boat on the lake and take a tube attached. Drag those kids across the water...let them jump out and swim. There are places you can tie the boat up, I think even in town.
Fireworks at night somebody else mentioned. There is parasailing, jet skiing, wakeboarding, banana boats.
Tubing, white water rafting. Google Lake George you'll see all kinds of stuff
Ben & Jerrys is the only kosher food. There is a Walmart nearby..you can get alot of stuff but I brought my own food, just supplemented the snacks in Walmart.
There is an outlet mall there, Small Six Flags.
If you want to go to the ropes course, I suggest a reservation beforehand. We just drove up there once and my kids were disappointed since they had no reservations for the next 3 days.
Minyan started after tisha b'av. The day right after tisha b'av may be iffy. We went up once and only had 9.
After that day, it was fine.
-
There is a Kiruv Camp called Sinai Retreats about 15 min away in Warrensburg. Pretty good food too!
Bet that they would be happy to host families for meals for a few dollars (to a good cause)
-
Anyone have info on the belz yeshiva ... does it still exist any options for minyan this time of year?

Don't think they're open this time of year. This is what a Google search brought up. Maybe try calling one of numbers.

See the page below for kosher food (supermarket) in Lake George.

The Price Chopper in Lake George has a very limited variety of kosher food.

Thanks! The webpage says "the well stocked" price chopper. Which one can s it well stocked kosher food or less mites kosher food?
Can I go w/o food and buy e/t there?
-
No. I can't see one relying just on the food available in the Lake George Price Chopper.
The Price chopper in Albany does have a decent amount of kosher food, (I recall) including a kosher bakery.

During the week (summer only, not sure exact dates) Chabad from Saratoga set up a tent and there's Minyan there.
IIRC they had for Shabbos also, didn't end up staying there over Shabbos so not sure.
Try contacting Chabbad from Saratoga.

Looking for things to do in Lake George for a couple with a 5 month old and 2 year old, any info would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

At that age they would probably enjoy the steamboat ride on the lake. There's also Thursday night fireworks, but probably too late for them to stay up to see.

I do not know regarding the scoops (if it is better than b&r) but they do sell containers from the factory that have a straight hechsher. But it does kinda take away from the ice cream parlor experience.
