ENJOY THE LAKE GEORGE EXPERIENCE

"THE QUEEN OF AMERICAN LAKES"

“Lake George is without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw; formed by a contour of mountains into a basin… finely interspersed with islands, its water limpid as crystal, and the mountain sides covered with rich groves… down to the water-edge: here and there precipices of rock to checker the scene and save it from monotony.”

— Thomas Jefferson, May 31, 1791
