AKB heading to Lake George in a few weeks, tell me your favs

Definitely recommend a day at Saratoga race track....they'll be running Thursday-Sunday from 7/9 to 7/26.
Another fun day trip is Lake Placid, which is about an hour and 15 minutes depending on where you are on Lake George. Can see the ski jumps (very underrated), 1980 arena, go to the top of Whiteface Mountain, etc.
In Lake George, my favorite place is The Lagoon...casual place on the water, good beer menu, solid food.

Lake Placid highly recommended… just be careful as July is Lacrosse Tournament month (Summit Classic and Summit Youth Classic ) and those weeks overwhelm the village 
If you are heading north on NYS Thruway, and you enjoy hiking or climbing, I would suggest Lake Minnewaska off of the New Paltz exit. New Paltz is a pleasant village with good eateries and quaint shops. A few exits up (Saugerties) you can take a short detour to Woodstock. The village that gave the concert its name. Interestingly, the concert was not held there due to local opposition once the plans became public. Nonetheless, Woodstock is a step back into the 60s and lots of artsy and colorful scenes (and characters who never left the 60s). I agree with the Saratoga suggestion and the city itself is packed with great restaurants and unique shops.
If in New Paltz’s, eat at Garvan’s Gastropub. Divine!
