Lake George Hike A Thon

08/20/2026

Did you stop by the ADK Taste Guide mobile studio at this year's After Party? Check out their latest podcast episode to hear fun stories, memories, and generational perspectives about conservation, Lake George, and what events like the Hike-A-Thon mean to our lake community.

How well do you really know Lake George?

You may have climbed its mountains. Paddled its waters. Spent summers returning to the same favorite places.

But Lake George has a way of reminding you there's always more to discover.

For the newest ADK Talks, we took our mobile studio to the Lake George Land Conservancy Hike-A-Thon after-party, where hundreds of hikers and paddlers had spent the day exploring trails, preserves, ponds and peaks around the lake.

We asked them what they'd found.

Their answers took us in some unexpected directions: a new view of a familiar lake. Birds most of us would walk right past. A family connection stretching back more than a century. A hiking community born during COVID. A completely different perspective from high above the lake.

And, yes, one rather large timber rattlesnake. 🐍

🎙️ NEW ADK TALKS: From Trail to Sky — Voices From the Lake George Hike-A-Thon

It's a different kind of ADK Talks episode—and a reminder that no matter how well you think you know this place, there's probably another Adirondack story waiting just around the bend.

Happy Independence Day! Be safe and have fun out there (but not too much fun - you have to get up early for the Hike-A-Thon!) 😁

Tomorrow's forecast is looking good - low 80's and partly/mostly cloudy. It may feel cooler than the past few days, but having lots of water and sun protection will still be very important to keep you safe and comfortable tomorrow.

After your morning adventure, join us at the Hike-A-Thon After Party! 11:30 am - 3 pm, at the Bolton Conservation Park/Community Center (56 Edgecomb Pond Rd, Bolton Landing, NY). https://www.lakegeorgehikeathon.org/after-party/
