It may be August now, but the change of seasons will be upon us before we know it and there's nothing more special then a fall vacation in Lake George. Did you know we still offer our beautiful Lake George Condo Rental into Autumn? September and October are a great time of year to get away from it all and to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Adirondacks & Northern Lake George. Our condo is situated right on the water at Dockside Landing Marina, in scenic Hague, NY—just 30 minutes north of the Lake George Village. This fantastically located rental unit comfortably sleeps 6 and features all the comforts of home, while providing an unrivaled view of the natural world from both the living room and private deck.

At our condominium rental, you are just a short drive away from many great Autumn experiences in the Adirondacks. The best time for peak foliage is usually the first week of October, but it can run later depending several factors. You can experience the changing of the seasons and an explosion of Fall color on one of a number of nearby hikes (Prospect Mountain, Sleeping Beauty, Black Mountain, The Pinnacle, or Cat & Thomas), or from the comfort of your condo's private deck.

Sunrises and sunsets will set the mountains aglow throughout Autumn on Lake George. If you feel like getting a more classic leaf peeping experience just hop in your car because Lake George is surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks. Rest assured that your stay at our rental unit on Lake George is sure to be a quiet, relaxing one in Autumn.

The location of our rental unit also makes a great home base for experiencing the various cultural events of Autumn in Upstate NY.

One of the best kept secrets to boating on Lake George is the northern Lake Geoerge. Lake George is over 32 miles long and it stretches from the village of Lake George (the most southern section), all the way to Ticonderoga (the most northern area). While you will find dozens of boat rentals between Lake George and Bolton Landing there is something different, something special, about driving to the northern end to rent a boat for the day and here’s 5 reasons why. 1. Less Boat Traffic Thousands of families visit Lake George and Bolton Landing each week, so needless to say these are the two most popular areas to rent a boat. This also makes these two areas the busier spots to cruise the lake and with hundreds of vacationers navigating the waters at the same time, it’s one of the many reasons we prefer boating a few miles north! Boating on the northern end of Lake George keeps you away from the vacationers giving your family more room to cruise and find a nice relaxing spot to enjoy the sun! 2. Scenic views of the Adirondacks When you rent a boat on the northern end of Lake George you get to see a totally different side of the Queen of American Lakes. Filled with miles of untouched mountain landscapes, historic landmarks and secret swimming spots there is no better place to experience Lake George. Some of our favorite spots to check out include The Narrows, Rodgers Rock and Fort Ticonderoga. 3. Fort Ticonderoga Speaking of Fort Ticonderoga … Everyone knows about Fort William Henry, it’s pretty hard to miss when you’re in the Lake George Village, but if you travel to the most northern end of the lake you will find a second, more authentic fort, Fort Ticonderoga. The site of the first victory of the American Revolution, Fort Ticonderoga offers a unique look into the beginning of American history and can be viewed while exploring the lake from your boat. While you’re enjoying the view make sure to find Mount Defiance, an historic landmark where the British were able to launch an attack on revolutionary soldiers stationed at Fort Ticonderoga. 4. More Room for Watersports If you’re looking to take a break from sight-seeing, there’s nothing more fun than grabbing the boat, tubes or waterskies and spending the afternoon shredding up the lake! If you and your family want to enjoy some watersports, it’s going to be awfully hard to find a calm spot if you rent a boat in the Lake George Village or Bolton Landing. That’s another reason why renting a boat in Northern Lake George is a better choice for vacationers. The northern part of the lake offers a ton of open water space and is the preferred location for many boaters looking to take out the tubes, wakeboards and waterskies for the day. 5. Fishing If you’re looking to explore some great fishing spots the northern end of Lake George is filled with many tranquil areas to cast a line. There really isn’t a bad spot to fish on Lake George, it’s stocked with a wide variety of fish including Northern Pike, Atlantic Salmon, Large & Smallmouth Bass, Lake Trout, Perch, Pickerel and many more! The real reason you’d want to fish the northern shorelines of Lake George is simple, less boat traffic and better views! If you’re planning a vacation to Lake George this summer and you’re looking for a great experience renting a boat, Dockside Marina located in Hague, NY is the perfect place for you and your family! We offer the most competitive rates and have a fleet of boats including pontoons, bowriders and much more!
