Active community on the edge of the Adirondacks
Located just east of the Adirondacks, Glens Falls North is an outdoorsmen’s paradise. The peak of West Mountain and the sandy beaches of Lake George are no more than 15 miles away, and miles of cross-country skiing trails weave through the community’s evergreen forests. “It’s outside the hustle and bustle of Lake George Village, but there’s lots of bars and restaurants,” says Daniel Davies, a broker with Davies-Davies & Associates Real Estate who has been selling homes in the area for over 35 years. The community sits just above the city of Glens Falls in Queensberry. While Glens Falls North is technically outside of the Adirondacks, it embraces the region's spirit with abundant green spaces that provide shade in the summer and sit underneath a layer of sparkling snow in the winter.

Miles of cross-country ski trails and proximity to West Mountain
Crandall Park is about 2 miles south of Glens Falls North. The green space features four lighted pickleball courts, a splash pad and a playground shaded by a canopy of evergreens. Across the street is the Glens Falls Recreation Ice Center and the Glens Falls Family YMCA, where membership includes access to unlimited fitness classes and free childcare for up to three hours a day. A forest of evergreens sits behind the YMCA, and there’s an access point to the Cole’s Woods trails between the trees. Cole’s Woods boasts the first lighted cross-country ski trails in the country, and the trail system attracts outdoor exercisers year-round. Anglers can cast their lines at Hovey Pond Park, where the Warren County Fish Hatchery stocks the water with bass and trout. Six Flags Great Escape is a bit further north along State Route 9 and is open seasonally from May to October. Residents can also join the Glens Falls Country Club, where the scenic 18-hole course offers views of Round Pond.
Perhaps the biggest outdoor attraction in Queensbury is West Mountain, less than a 10-mile drive south of Glens Falls North. The mountain towers over Glens Falls and offers everything from night skiing and snow tubing in the winter to high ropes tours and mountaintop yoga in the summer. The resort also hosts various events, including an annual Fall Festival. The festivities celebrate the start of autumn with hay wagon rides, pumpkin painting and scenic chairlift rides that take passengers high above a canopy of vibrant reds, oranges and yellows.
For waterfront recreation, the beaches of Lake George are about a 12-mile drive north via I-87. “The Sagamore Resort is located there, which is absolutely incredible,” Davies says. The resort sits on Lake George’s Green Island and features an 18-hole golf course, spa and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure. Guests can fish off the hotel’s private dock, water ski on the lake or set off on guided horseback rides through wooded trails.

The Adirondack Balloon Festival in September
In addition to its sports courts, Crandall Park is a destination for community events. Its bandshell hosts an annual summer concert series, and the Adirondack Balloon Festival holds its opening ceremonies in the park each September. The event is the third-largest balloon festival in the country and draws over 100,000 people to Glens Falls each year. Hundreds of hot-air balloons float high above the Adirondack Mountains, launching from Crandall Park and the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport. Food trucks, live musical performances and private balloon rides round out the festivities.
