About this city
Also known as: Queen of American Lakes
Lake George is a historic, exceptionally vibrant waterfront resort community positioned flatly at the southern base of a massive 32-mile natural spring-fed glacial lake in the southeastern Adirondack Mountains. Established as a strategic military border stronghold during the mid-18th-century French and Indian War, the village successfully transitioned into a premier capital for high-wealth luxury lakefront travel. Characterized by deep blue glacial waters, historic steamboat wharves, and landmark mountain bluffs, it merged old-world colonial romance with expansive retro summer colonies.
