Adirondack Attractions for Spring
As the temperature warms in early spring, trees burst into bud and the Adirondack Mountain snowpack melts into rushing streams. This snowmelt produces exciting whitewater in area rivers. With this sudden surge of water, spring is the perfect time for whitewater rafting in the Lake George Region. Beginners and experts alike will find rafting companies ready to take them on the exciting springtime adventure. Lake George is a short distance from rafting on the Hudson, Indian or Sacandaga Rivers.
In early May, competitive rafters can test their skill on the Hudson River near North Creek at the annual Whitewater Derby. The Hudson’s challenging waters set the stage for an exciting event that draws competitors from around the country.
Early June means the arrival of motorcycle touring enthusiasts into Lake George, as the Americade rally brings over 30,000 riders into the village. The week-long event features a thrilling motorcycle parade, fireworks, a giant trade show, and a night-time ride to the top of Prospect Mountain. In nearby Glens Falls, music and crafts draw thousands to the city with the Glens Falls Blues Festival and the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council (LARAC) Summer Arts Festival. Both events are free and well worth the trip.
The memories of a lifetime await you in the Lake George - Adirondack Region no matter which season you choose to enjoy.
