Wake up Saturday for golf overlooking the lake or a moderate hike up Prospect Mountain. Pause for a leisurely lakeside lunch and a wine tasting by a roaring fire in the evening<br \/>\n\u2022 Sleep late in the big, comfy beds in one of the Lake George region\u2019s luxury hotels and inns, find the champagne chilled and chocolates on the pillow. Poke around in the antique shops and retail stores. Consider a candlelight dinner for two or a stroll along the shoreline or through the pumpkin patch.<br \/>\n\u2022 Make it a true warriors\u2019 weekend by taking on Tongue or Crane Mountain. Rent a mountain bike and tackle the rugged terrain of the southern Adirondacks, and end the day with a brisk run by the lake, followed by a restorative local beer or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Lake George region, officials have undertaken an effort to make it easier for people to have custom-made fall fun and discover less crowded places.
