Lake George Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

New York State's Lake George area offers families a vast playground comprising hundreds of thousands of acres of woodlands and the 32-mile-long expanse of the lake itself. The lake is part of the state's Adirondack Park, six million acres of private and state-owned land, approximately 60 percent of which is wilderness. The first thing you must do, however, especially if you approach the lake from the south, is to have faith. You must believe that there are undeveloped parcels beyond Lake George Village, a strip choked with motels, cottage colonies, eateries, and tacky souvenir shops. Just a short drive north takes you to Bolton Landing, a less built-up town, and beyond that you discover quiet lakeside villages, natural shoreline, and thickly wooded mountains. Bear in mind that the expanse of Adirondack Park is bigger than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier, and Grand Canyon national parks combined, so seclusion is there for the taking.
