    Trail and view
    Christine C.

    Great way to start the day!!! If you're a quick hiker you can make the round trip in about an hour. There are some pretty steep inclines and only 2 resting benches. One bench is at the top and has amazing 270degree views of the lake and the town of Bolton. You can even see the Sagamore Historic Hotel. Along the trail there is a sign stating additional trail options that hike over to adjacent mountains. The trails are not obvious but look around when you see the sign. The trails surround residential areas and you most stay on the path. These are private properties.

    Came here on a November weekday (off season) but I truly enjoyed this hike! Despite the leaves, snow and mud on the ground it was a great hike with very calming views. It's considered a "'moderate" hike in the All Trails app which I think is accurate because of the slight steepness you endure for about 1/3 of the trail. The trail is about 1.5 miles one way and takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the top. The trail is clearly marked with red markers so it's easy to follow. The view from the top is like a steal for the easy/ moderate level hike that this is! You see more of the middle and south end of lake george, the north end is blocked by some trees on the mountain. Overall gorgeous and serene. For those who need rest beaks there's at least 2 benches on the way up and one bench at the top of the hike. Would definitely come back!

    MODERATE & SHORT TRAIL HIKE NEAR BOLTON LANDING, NY It takes about 30 minutes or so, give or take, to scale this hillside wooden trail. During which you're treated to large granite boulders and vines hanging from the trees. It's a sight in and of itself. There are two creeks you will need to cross, but neither should run that high and they are well traveled, so you'll find a path of makeshift rocks and logs to help you cross, but keep in mind if you aren't agile you may get your feet wet. At the top you'll overlook Lake George, and on a clear day may see all the way into Vermont. It's certainly worth the trip. The biggest peril you'll face might be the mosquitoes: they had my Party and I completely surrounded at a couple points, but we managed to trick them into believing our blood wasn't delicious (even though we know whole-heartedly that it is).

    Up Yonda Farm - Inside the farmhouse welcome center

    Bolton Landing, NY - my introduction to Up Yonda Farm came courtesy of the Lake George Winter…read moreCarnival, which included a naturalist-led snowshoe hike in its activity lineup. Although we didn't make the tour (sold out), we drove up anyway to see if we could rent snowshoes to hike the trails on our own. Fortunately, there were plenty of snowshoes to go around - including kids/toddler sizes! - despite the tour group before us which I was afraid would clear out the snowshoe racks. But that was not at all the case! Rick and Linda at the Center could not have been lovelier or more helpful. Rick walked us through the trail map, pointing out where the tour group had gone (who would've broken in the snow for us), and being mindful of the fact that we were hiking with a small child who may or may not have a meltdown somewhere along the way, and how far into the hike it is likely to happen, from experience. I pulled out AllTrails to help with navigation, and Rick told us he actually created the GPS tracks for the property in the app! There are 3 miles of hiking trails across the 73-acre property, well marked with blazes and easy to follow. The woods were so beautiful and serene in the fresh snow. My child enjoyed the StoryWalk on the Sugar Trail and had me read the story to him. In addition to the educational exhibits in the farmhouse welcome center & museum (including some cute turtles!), the Center offers a variety of environmental education programs throughout the year (birds, butterflies, wildlife, night sky, hikes, field guides, crafting, seasonal events, etc.). It is now maple sugaring season so you can learn about the process and visit the sugarhouse when it's open. In the summer, you can see the butterfly garden, picnic by the pond, and explore the grounds with vistas of Lake George. We loved our visit to Up Yonda Farm, and the snowshoe hike turned out to be the highlight of our weekend. What a magical experience for all seasons!

    I recently visited Up Yonda Farm Environmental Education Center for their maple-making tour and…read moreabsolutely loved it! This was my first time visiting and it was such a fun experience. The snowy setting made it even more special. We walked along a path through the woods while learning about how maple syrup is made. It was really interesting to hear about the history of maple sugaring and see the progression of tools that have been used over time. One of my favorite parts was the tasting. At the very beginning we got to try raw maple sap, and later we tasted the syrup fresh after it had been made. It honestly changed my mind about maple syrup -- I used to not like it, but tasting it fresh made me appreciate it so much more. There is plenty of parking, and the bathrooms are right next to the parking lot. After parking, you walk up to the main house to check in. The tour starts off to the side of the house near a fire pit, which was a nice gathering spot. At the end of the tour they served French toast sticks with different maple syrups to try, which was delicious and a perfect way to finish the experience. Overall, this was such a fun family-friendly event. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique outdoor activity and a great way to learn about maple syrup!

We did the early bird special at 9:30 am to save money and it's also worth it! Such a great offer!!! I highly recommend getting the tube with a backrest/headrest so that you have back support during your tubing experience. It makes a huge difference with comfort and it only cost an extra $7. Erin was a very good bus driver she made the ride pleasant and safe!!! Lauren was a great instructor and leader during the experience. She also was very friendly to speak with. I needed water shoes, so it was great that I can buy water shoes on the premises and they were able to charge the card I used to make the online reservations which is convenient because I didn't bring my wallet. There is bathrooms and changing rooms on site.

    The guides were fantastic, especially Kirsten (make sure she gets her free PB&J). The ride is bumpy…read moreand dusty on the bus, but the float was beautiful. We only wish it were longer! The process from reservation to the float to leaving was all very seamless. Recommend: water shoes (flip flops worked but would have been easier in actual water shoes), bringing a waterproof cell phone holder, and having a bag with towels ready for the bus. They sell water shoes and the cell phone holders there for a markup.

Fun songs, dad jokes told better, and I love to her say "Keep paddlin." Lori "Loves to SURF" . This is the best time in the Hudson. We spent several minutes in "Fluffy Box" and she even got the raft turned around!!! We also made it into Bus Stop and got in some good surf there as well. But wait - there's more! We went down Jiffy Pop Backwards!!!!! Bestest Ginger snaps and other super healthy lunch options too, washed down with yummy hibiscus pink tea. So - if you want the small company vibe that cares about you as a participant and partner, Square Eddy is the way to go.

Whereas some of the other local company have giant, full-size buses pushing through volume onto the river, this operation was intimate and friendly. In the short amount of time we spent with the owners, we got to know them and their friends very well. Linc was our guide and he was full of knowledge and information. He was also a tremendous guide as far as rafting is concerned. The lunch we all shared was homemade and delicious. The cookies we had were incredible. The fresh fruit was a nice touch too. In total there were 4 rafts and approximately 20 people. We didn't need to wait around for anyone and the entire operation felt smooth and well-planned. We had a phenomenal time and highly recommend this activity.
