We took a boat tour with Old Forge Lake Cruises as part of a package we booked for the Adirondack…read morerailroad. If you see a package for both, I highly recommend booking it. Once we got off the train, a bus took us right to the cruise location and we got our tickets. The cruise left right on time. The captain provided us with some really interesting facts about the area, and not doing much research beforehand on the cruise I was in awe of how beautiful the lakes were that the cruise went through. The mountains in the background everywhere were amazing. There were drinks and some food for sale on the ship, and the prices were pretty reasonable. The whole cruise was very relaxing and informative, if I was in the area again, I would do this cruise a second time. Once we were done, a bus arrived and took us back to the train - super easy.

Unfortunately we didn't notice until we were an hour out and would have taken an hour or more to exchange them. Maybe if we were more experienced we'd have seen that but they shouldn't be giving a boat full of adults a pair of kiddie water skis. Management was not particularly conciliatory either, although they comped our gas bill after some discussion. But no water skiing for us. Caveat Emptor to the inexperienced boater/skiers! Otherwise a great time was had by all!
