Lake George
Ticonderoga, New York

Lake George, in historic Ticonderoga, NY, with its crystal clear water and its spectacular scenic views, still impresses the first time visitor much the same way as it must have impressed Father Isaac Jogues in 1642 when he first saw the lake and named it "Lac du Saint Sacrement". Lake George is located in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, about 60 miles north of Albany.

The lake is 32 miles long and dotted with almost 200 islands and it lays in a Southwesterly to Northeasterly direction. Today Lake George is known as one of the premier vacation spots in the Northeast. Many visitors come every year to enjoy the mountains and the sparkling waters of Lake George. But it also has plenty to offer the historically minded visitor as well. The lake, in its present state, was formed by glacier activity thousands of years ago. It is fed, primarily, by underground springs and its outlet is in Ticonderoga. The outlet of Lake George, called the LaChute River descends through a series of rapids and empties into Lake Champlain. A descent greater than that of Niagara Falls.
