Fueled by a post-pandemic trend toward self-care and purpose-driven experiences over traditional sightseeing, as well as rising awareness of mental health and burnout, more travelers than ever are seeking wellness-focused vacations. Yoga retreats, mineral springs, spa experiences, and active vacations are on the rise, and with many wellness travelers also expressing a strong desire to reconnect with nature, destinations that feature hiking, biking, and paddling – like the Lake George Region – are a natural choice.
Wellness-Focused Vacation Activities in the Lake George Region
Lake George wellness-focused vacations offer a blend of Adirondack nature, serene lakeside relaxation, and active outdoor recreation.
Nature Walks & Hiking

Kayaking & Paddleboarding
Beyond the crystal-clear waters of Lake George, you’ll find several beautiful lakes in the area that are perfect for paddling, including Hadlock Lake, Glen Lake and Lake Luzerne.

This 9.5-mile paved bike path connects the Village of Lake George with the City of Glens Falls, and is ideal for cyclists of all ability levels, from families with younger children to recreational riders and athletes.
Yoga Classes & Retreats
Stretch beneath the branches of a mighty maple tree, connect to your breath in a quaint stone library, or align your chakras while gazing out at a pristine Adirondack pond with Sasaphras Yoga. Other options for yogis include a Lake George Bliss Retreat with Metta Yoga, goat yoga classes at Dove Haven Farm, and Hot Yoga Queensbury.
