Overview

In the heart of the village, behind the fountain and the outdoor stage, you will find one of the most popular beaches in Lake George - Shepard Park Beach with public restrooms and playground.

Shepard Park & Beach

Please note, in June of 2024 a fire burned down the amphitheater/band stage used for summer concerts. A temporary stage was being erected, and a more permanent strucutre is being erected. The summer concerts are on for 2025!

Shepard Park Beach offers a 350-foot sandy beach as well as a shaded park with an amphitheater for summer entertianment. Enjoy great views, swimming, and picnicking.

Shepard Park has restrooms and is centrally located near all the village restaurants and shopping, a small playground, and outdoor stage where you'll find free live music and entertainment. It's also the location of many activities for the Lake George Winter Carnival.

Please note, the beach area is blocked off when there is no lifeguard on duty.

We have been coming to this beach with Camp Lenox for 5 years and have never experienced such terrible behavior from the lifeguards. They were constantly yelling at our campers, which was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. The situation escalated when the manager herself started yelling at our staff, even using foul language. It seemed like they just wanted to kick us off the beach to make their job easier. This is absolutely unacceptable and they completely ruined the kids' day. We are extremely disappointed and hope this behavior is addressed immediately. The manager should get some proper training for her position as well especially if this is her future 8)

Not very pleasant for a 10am dip with 44 campers. The life guards were having a little power trip (other couples not with us have even mentioned it and were laughing at how upset they were acting). The manager herself needs some proper training especially if this is her future 8) I have some videos and pics of the situation and gladly share.
