ArmsMonkey · 08-12-2013, 08:53 AM

Me and the family are on vacation on lake George, I know of Coopers cave, does anyone know of any others nearby?

Stone Bridge and Caves adventure tour is fun!

Not too far away is Chimney Mt. Plenty enough there for a full day of fun and adventure...
Bring a flashlight!!

Yes, there is Chimney Mt., but you'd better be prepared. You have to rappell down into the caves. Are you willing to do that?

If it's a family thing, I'd also recommend Stone Bridge or Howe Caverns, west of Albany.

The ADKS are not known for many caves.

My understanding is that one or more of the caves on Chimney Mountain can be rappelled into but that they are also accessible in a more perambulatory manner. I am planning to go there next week and then I will know for sure.
