ABOUT THE LAKE GEORGE REGION PAGE 1

Lake George was named "Queen Of American Lakes" by the federal government in the 1960's. It has attracted visitors from around the world since the first European to see the lake, a French Jesuit priest, Father Joques in 1646. It is the area featured in James Fenimore Cooper's novel Last of the Mohicans, as well as the movies by that title. Annually, over 6.5 million people visit the Lake George Region.
 
The Lake is 32 miles long, on average ~1.5 miles wide, reaches a maximum width of 4.7 miles, and reaches a maximum depth of 195 feet. The lake encompasses the whole valley -- the mountains rise out of the water an average of 1800 ft. The water quality is excellent, fully potable and supports a diverse marine environment. The only industry in the water shed is tourism, and is regulated to remain so.
