Lake George, New York is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever visited. The lake is 32 miles long and 3 miles wide at the widest point. Everything that you can think to do on water can be found there. Boat rides of all types from floating Tiki Hut to dinner cruise on a steam ship are offered on the lake as well as boat rentals, jet skies, sail boats, paddling, parasailing, diving and beaches. As person who enjoys history I need to add that the diving sites include ship wrecks some date back to the 1750’s.
The waters of the lake follow a wooded shore line and tall mountains filled with history. Three major battles took place at Lake George New York. The first was the battle of Lake George which was an English victory which gave the lake it’s name. The next two were battles involving Fort William Henry, with the most famous being the one in the story “The Last of the Mohicans”.
We were lucky to find a home to stay in on the mountain near Bolton Landing. We found the home through Vacation Rentals By Owners. I will write more about the house later, but it gave us a great view of the lake and was a great place to sit in the morning and drink coffee.
As for food both Lake George and Bolton Landing have a lot to offer. At Lake George we enjoyed place with a view of the lake, while Bolton Landing reminded us more of Siesta Key sitting in open air by the street.
What ever you are looking for in a vacation can be found at Lake George, New York.
