Lake George (New York)
Lake George, nicknamed the ''Queen of American Lakes'',〔Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce, (''Visit Lake George'' ), Retrieved May 12, 2008; Albany International Airport, (''AIRPORT GALLERY FEATURES LAKE GEORGE "QUEEN OF AMERICAN LAKES"'' ), 2004. Retrieved May 12, 2008; The Hyde Collection, (''Painting Lake George: 1774 - 1900'' ), September, 2005. Retrieved May 12, 2008; Erin Budis Coe and Gwendolyn Owens, (''Painting Lake George 1774-1900'' ), Syracuse University Press, 2005〕 is a long, narrow oligotrophic lake located at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of New York. It lies within the upper region of the Great Appalachian Valley and drains northward into Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River drainage basin. The lake is situated along the historical natural (Amerindian) path between the valley of the Hudson River and that of the St. Lawrence, so lies on the direct land route between Albany, New York and Montreal, Canada. The lake extends about on a north-south axis, is quite deep, and varies from 1 to 3 miles (1.7 to 5 km) in width, presenting a significant barrier to east-west travel. Although the year-round population of the Lake George region is relatively small, the summertime population can swell to over 50,000 residents, many in the Village of Lake George region at the southern end of the lake.
Lake George drains into Lake Champlain to its north through a short stream, the La Chute River, with many falls and rapids, dropping about 230 feet (70 m) in its 3½-mile (6 km) course—virtually all of which is within the lands of Ticonderoga, New York and near the site of the famous Fort Ticonderoga. Ultimately the waters flowing via the Richelieu River empty into the St. Lawrence River downstream and northeast of Montreal and then into the North Atlantic Ocean above Nova Scotia.
==Geography==
Lake George is located in the southeastern Adirondack State Park. It is part of the St. Lawrence watershed. Notable landforms include Anthony's Nose, Deer's Leap, Roger's Rock, the Indian Kettles, Diver's Rock (a jump into the lake), and Double-Diver's (a jump). Some of the mountains include Tongue Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, Elephant Mountain, Prospect Mountain, Shelving Rock, Pilot Knob, and Black Mountain. Some of the more famous bays are Silver Bay, Kattskill Bay, Northwest Bay, Basin Bay, and Oneida Bay.
The lake is distinguished by "The Narrows", an island-filled narrow section (approximately five miles long) that is bordered on the west by Tongue Mountain and the east by Black Mountain. In all, Lake George is home to 165 islands and 230 satellite islands (exactly 395 total), most of them state-owned. They range from the car-sized Skipper's Jib to larger Vicar's and Long Island. Camping permits are attainable for the larger portion of islands. The lake's deepest point is , found between Dome Island and Buck Mountain in the northern part of the southern quarter of the lake.
