4 Fantastic Ways to Enjoy the Waters of Lake George
At 32 miles long, with a surface area of roughly 28,000 acres, the activities available to enjoy during a day on the water are as vast as the lake itself! We've grouped our four favorite ways to enjoy the water below.
Boating
Lake George is dotted with marinas, launch sites, places to get boat rentals, businesses that can take you for a boat tour, and more. Whether you're ready to head out on your own or you'd prefer to let someone else do the steering, Lake George has it all when it comes to boating.
Fishing
There's plenty of excellent fishing to be had on Lake George! The lake supports both cold and warm water species, which is known as a two-story fishery. For the cold-blooded, ice-fishing begins with the complete freeze-up, usually in early January, and continues until March 15. Need help? Check out fishing guides.
