Review of Glens Falls, New York


Hometown USA
Star Rating - 8/17/2006
Glens Falls, NY is a wonderful place to raise a family. Lots of mountains, the most beautiful lake, Lake George, that I have ever seen, just 10 minutes away. Nice cross country ski trails, with lights for night skiing. Local downhill mountain offering discounts to local school children, also has lighting and night skiing. Low crime, excellent schools. From Glens Falls you are 3 hours from Montreal and 3 hours from NYC. Glens Falls, as well as Queensbury, right next door, but not listed on this site, are both wonderful places to live. I sure miss it!
