                                  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. 

                                    Safety first! Safety is a top priority when ice-fishing or doing other activities on frozen bodies of water. Click this link for important safety information for fishing and other activities on the ice!

                                    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.
