Things to do in Lake George

Lake George stretches more than thirty miles through the southeastern Adirondacks, and its clear water, islands and mountain shoreline have drawn summer visitors since the Gilded Age, when wealthy families built grand estates along its western shore. The village at its southern end has a busy waterfront with steamboat cruises, beaches, shops and the reconstructed Fort William Henry, while quieter towns such as Bolton Landing and Hague have resorts, marinas and lakefront camps. The economy runs on tourism, second homes and hospitality.
