In your free time you can swim and kayak right off the town beach, hike Mount Severance for panoramic views, paddle to Word of Life Island, or catch a movie at the historic Strand Theatre. Lake George is a short drive away, and both Montreal and New York City are within reach for weekend adventures. When September and October arrive, the mountains explode into red and gold — a view most travelers only ever see in photographs.
