Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Lake George tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You're approaching the upper parking area for Prospect Mountain Summit. The full panorama still takes a walk: about a fifth of a mile each way, climbing one hundred and fifty-five feet.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in Lake George.
“You're nearing the access to Adirondack Extreme Adventure Course, where suspended bridges, swings and ziplines take you through the forest canopy. Choose it for an active half-day, rather than a quick scenic stop.”
Heads up Several hours if you want to complete multiple courses
“You're approaching the walking access for Shelving Rock Falls, where the brook drops over rock shelves in the woods. Allow about forty-five minutes for the short walk and a look at the cascade.”
Heads up The lower viewpoint requires steep, slippery footing.
“You're nearing Lake George Waterfront Cruises, the departure point for the wooden yacht Horicon. Its one-hour narrated trip suits anyone who wants lake views with stories about the old estates and wartime shoreline.”
Heads up Seating is first-come and the open upper deck has limited capacity.

“We just used the app this morning on our drive around Cades Cove and it provided a lot of info along the way and greatly enhanced our experience! And to top it off, we saw a female black bear and her two cubs just before the halfway point!”

“Loved it after I figured out how to use the app, the information was very interesting and the automatic play as you drive was very convenient. The map came in handy too when we lost connection on our GPS. Thank you!”
