Lake George
Resort Area · Lake George, New York
⚠ THE QUEEN OF AMERICAN LAKES, as Thomas Jefferson called it — thirty-two miles of exceptionally clear water at the southern gate of the Adirondacks, ringed by mountains and fought over repeatedly in the French and Indian War. The village at its foot is a frankly commercial resort strip of arcades, boat cruises and motels, ⚠ AND THE LAKE ITSELF IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS ANY IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES.
