Welcome to Lake George Village! Lake George, nicknamed the "Queen of American Lakes," is the largest lake in the Adirondacks with more than 45 square miles of water to enjoy. Renowned for its clear waters, Lake George has quite the history as a vacation destination and more.
Much of the northeast was covered with glaciers during the last Ice Age. As the earth warmed between 10 and 12,000 years ago, the glaciers began to recede and carve through rock leaving behind sediment, deposits, and chunks of ice. When the chunks of ice began to melt and water filled in the gouges along the land, bodies of water like Lake George were formed.
Lake George is more than 32 miles long and varies between 1 and 3 miles across. At its deepest, the lake's bottom sits 196 feet below the surface. There are more than 170 islands dotting its surface, many of which are state owned for island camping. The Lake George area contains thirteen communities including the towns of Ticonderoga and Hague, Bolton Landing, and Lake George Village right on the lake's edge.
