Glens Falls is the town center of Queensbury and 5 minutes from our house. The Queensbury Hotel is located here as well as plenty of locally owned restaurants and breweries.
The village of Lake George is 20 minutes north from our house, but there is a lot of lake to explore beyond the village. Check out Lake George Steamboat Company for a tour of the lake or take a hike on one of the many trails Lake George has to offer.
Saratoga is 30 minutes south from our house. It is known for its shops and wonderful restaurants - as well as the race track.
Lake Placid is just under two hours north of our house. While it is a bit longer of a drive, it is worth it. You can see the high peaks while you drive there. You can also visit the 1980 Winter Olympics venues and then catch a bite to eat in the village.
You would be surprised by how many breweries and distilleries are located in the Adirondacks. This list starts with the ones located in the Lake George region - including some in Glens Falls!
