Lake George Named One of the Prettiest Small Towns in Upstate New York

We know how special Lake George is - and now the world does too! WorldAtlas recently featured Lake George in their list of the 9 Prettiest Small Towns in Upstate New York.

WorldAtlas called out the following highlights that make Lake George a "stunning" destination:

  • Enchanted forests, rugged mountains, and crystal clear waters
  • Warm sand and sun at Million Dollar Beach
  • Wine, cider, wine cocktails, and a relaxing patio at Adirondack Winery
  • Local brews at Adirondack Brewery

The full list includes:

  • Lake George
  • Woodstock
  • Saratoga Springs
  • Catskill
  • Lake Placid
  • Ithaca
  • Skaneateles
  • Cooperstown
  • Cold Spring

Now the question is, what did they consider "Upstate?" A long-heated debate in these parts - but Ithaca made the list, which means they covered a pretty large region of the state.
