I was just there last year, there is a Rodeo there and a couple of decent restaurants up the block from there. If you plan on reserving a boat shop around and do it early the prices vary greatly, We ended up renting a platoon boat for less than half the price in a place called Sarnac lake,

There are 2 large parks one is a great adventure park.

The one park is a Six Flags, is just a few miles south of the village of Lake George. It was locally owned until a few years back and then was bought by Six Flags.
There are quite a few restaurants in the area and they range from "so so" to pretty good.
The Log Jam - a steak/seafood place on Rt 9 outside of town
The Bistro at the Georgian - in town, fairly good and also has breakfast buffet
The Montcalm Restaurant - Seafood/steaks - good baked goods - been around for years
Dunham's Bay Resort - good food
Friends Lake Inn - Excellent food - it is a small Inn & restaurant but is not in lake George but in the small town of Chestertown a few miles away
The Sagamore Resort - It is a high end resort in Bolton Landing - just north of village of LG and has several restaurants - La Belle Vita and The Pavilion are the top ones - Relatively high price but exceptional food

Here is a link to other restaurants: Lake George NY Fine Dining: Restaurant Guide to Exceptional Area Dining Including Bolton Landing Restaurants

They have a couple of tour boats that are worth taking to have a good look at the lake: The Mini HaHa is a small paddlewheeler that has an onboard calyapie that they play, about a 1 1/2 hr tour. There is also a larger tour boat that does a 2 1/2 hour tour of whole lake. You see the shoreline and some of waterfront houses are pretty impressive (several have boat houses that match the style of the main house, etc)_The bigger one also has a dinner cruise, but the food is a so-so buffet.
Hope some of this helps, I only live about 30 miles south of there but don't go up as much as I used to.
