Shepard Park provides a central place to pause. Beach use and swimming depend on the operating season and lifeguard status.

Lake George Beach—often called Million Dollar Beach—has its own operating calendar, rules, parking, and lifeguard-dependent swimming.

What changes the decision
- Choose either a cruise or the fort as the day’s anchor; trying to force both around a poor schedule can make a compact day feel rushed.
- Treat trolley and bus service as seasonal. Verify the outbound and return trip on CDTA’s current schedule before relying on it.
- Canada Street is an active commercial road. Use sidewalks and designated crossings rather than describing the entire village as traffic-free.
- Cruises, attractions, beaches, the Visitor Center, and Prospect Mountain access all follow separate seasonal calendars.
