A Natural Beauty
Lake George carries a reputation of nearly unparalleled beauty. The water body is conveniently located between New York City and Montreal, Canada, and just south of the Adirondack Mountains.
Lake George is a glacial lake that sprawls over 28,000 acres. At its deepest, Lake George plunges to 200 feet with an average depth of 82 feet.
The Lake George Park Commission oversees the lake's water levels while it decreases 12-16 inches every winter and fluctuates about five to six inches during the summer.
Interesting History
Samuel de Champlain founded the lake in 1609, but the lake was renamed after the French and Indian War for King George II. The body of water played a supporting role in several battles and hosted many prominent historical figures, including Thomas Jefferson.
A Plethora of Activities to Enjoy
Lake George offers enjoyable activities for all ages and contains some of the clearest and cleanest water in New York.

Scuba diving is also popular. Divers often discover old shipwrecks, sunken cannons, and much more.
Fishing is an all-time favorite on Lake George, especially ice fishing in the winter. In the spring and summer months, anglers can find everything from largemouth bass to landlocked salmon, lake and rainbow trout, and yellow perch.
