There are several MUST DO things in Lake
George. These are things that we do every time we vacation there, and we
never get tired of. The Lake George Carriage Rides are on this list.
No matter how many times we go on the carriage ride, we never get tired of it.
There is just something special about being pulled around the water front in a
horse drawn carriage. Each tour travels a two mile loop, along Beach Road,
and and Brook Road. The ride starts in front of the Fort William Henry
Commons, in the municipal parking lot on Beach Road, and travels South-East out
of the parking lot, and along Beach Road. You then turn South-West onto
Brook Street, past Beach Road Miniature Golf, and the old Gaslight Village
amusement park to the intersection with Canada Street. The carriage then
turns around, and heads North-East on Brook Road, past the old Movie Stars House
of Wax Museum, and the Lake George Battleground park, before turning South-East
on Beach Road again. The tour continues on Beach Road to the Million
Dollar Beach, where you travel around the traffic circle at the beach parking
lot, and head North-West again on Beach Road. Soon you are passing the
Million Dollar beach again, then the Steel Pier, and the public boat docks
before making another U-Turn just before Canada Street, and winding up back in
front of the Fort William Henry Commons. The whole ride takes about 20
minutes, and gives you a great view of the area. In addition, the drivers
narrate the tour with some information about the area. This is another
attraction that seems to be even more fun at night, and the kids love it as much
as the adults do. The carriage rides are located directly in front of the
Fort William Henry Commons, in the municipal parking lot on Beach Road. To
