    Such a treat in North Creek! Helpful staff made the trip very easy. Four seater peddled by 3 people and it was easy. There were great views of the Hudson River & forest. Families with small kids, they have harnesses to strap in the kids. All other passengers have a lap belt. Some picnic tables at the half way point. If you're the first cart, you'll have time for a very quick snack.

    Really fun experience with an awesome bridge over the Hudson. Most of the ride is through the woods which was nice and scenic but could be repetitive for some. Definitely more of a workout than expected. Overall would recommend!

    Great experience while visiting lake George, of course the morning we pre-booked in early October was in the low 30s, luckily they sold gloves in the office. Staff was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Will be checking out their other locations in the Adirondacks as well as other states. Want to try the Hadley trail to pedal over the 90ft high trestle bridge. A++
