Three Perfect Days: Winter Activities
The northern end of Lake George is the perfect place to go sailing. With fewer motorized boats, it’s a great place for beginners and enthusiasts.
Day 1: Snowshoe or Cross Country Trails
Hit the trails on snowshoes or cross country skis. There are miles and miles of trails around Ticonderoga. A great place to start is the Roger’s Rock Campground, which has nice trails alongside Lake George, a beach to warm up next to a fire, and several lit trails so you can keep going after sunset.
Day 2: Gone (Ice) Fishing + (Ice) Skating
Head out on the frozen Lake Champlain or Lake George for some ice fishing, and bring skates too (links to these pages)! Or, go skating at the rink in Ticonderoga.

Day 3: Snowmobile Adventure
Spend the last day going fast and furiously through the snowmobile trails around Ticonderoga. S88 and S88A are great, long trails starting in Hague at Jabes Pond and ending at Island Pond.
