Lake George

Thomas Jefferson called it "the queen of American lakes." An upstate treasure, Lake George is a 42-mile drive from the Battenkill Preserve and lies within the Adirondack Park, which occupies 6 million acres and is the largest wilderness park in the U.S. Residents enjoy a fine quality of life, and visitors come back year after year to enjoy the lakes, mountains, and stunning beauty of the region.
