Event Details
The Lake George Land Conservancy’s annual Hike-a-Thon is a one-day event held each July 5th, created to showcase LGLC’s parks and preserves as free public resources, and to promote a healthy, active lifestyle and appreciation for the outdoors.
Hikes take place simultaneously at locations around Lake George, culminating with aerial photography of each group by helicopter. The event also serves as a fund-raiser for stewardship costs associated with the maintenance and enhancement of these properties.
Thanks to support from sponsoring businesses, participation in the event is free and open to the public. We also rely on a wonderful volunteer crew to help lead hikes and keep things running smoothly on the ground.
For complete details about the available sites, volunteer and sponsorship opportunities, and registration information, visit our Hike-A-Thon site!

Timber Rattlesnakes, with Dr. Bill Brown, Vertebrate Zoologist and Herpetologist, Associate Professor Emeritus, Skidmore College
The Timber Rattlesnake is looked upon as an unpopular species; however, I don’t view it that way. Timber Rattlesnakes have an undeserved reputation as dangerous simply by being a member of a group of New World venomous snakes known as “rattlesnakes.” Based on my study of this snake in the wild for the past 35 years, I will present a look at the natural history of this species so that the public and outdoor enthusiasts know what to expect if they encounter one of these snakes in nature. The seasonal activity, reproduction, and behavior of Timber Rattlesnakes, as well as modern medical approaches to snakebite, will be presented.
