Lake George drains into Lake Champlain to its north through a short stream (La Chute River) with many falls and rapids, dropping about 230 feet (70 meters) in its 3½-mile (6 km) course. Ultimately the water flows into the St. Lawrence River and then into the Atlantic Ocean. The original name in Iroquois was said to be Andiatarocte, the lake shut in and was named by the French Lac du Saint-Sacrement, (Lake of the Holy Sacrament). The Village of Lake George is located at the south end of Lake George and the unincorporated village of Ticonderoga is at the northern end. The area is a well-known resort center and summer colony. There are several towns and villages on the shore of the lake. The southern most, Lake George village, is especially popular with tourists. To the north is Bolton Landing, substantially quieter and more affluent. Bolton houses the largest of the Lake's resorts, the Sagamore Hotel. The center of Bolton lies on Bolton Bay, as does Green Island (Sagamore Island). At the north end of the lake are Silver Bay, Hague and Huletts Landing. read full wikipedia reference about Lake George, New York OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN NEW YORKAlbany Amherst Auburn Batavia Binghamton Buffalo Chautauqua Cheektowaga Chestertown Corning Diamond Point East Hampton Elmira Greenport Greenville Hicksville Horseheads Hyde Park Ithaca Jamaica Lake George Lake Luzerne Lake Placid Latham Liverpool Middletown Newburgh New York City Niagara Falls North Creek Painted Post Plattsburgh Poughkeepsie Queens Rhinebeck Rochester Saratoga Springs Schenectady Schroon Lake Shelter Island Skaneateles Southampton Syracuse Tarrytown Utica Warrensburg Warwick Watertown Westfield Westhampton Westport White Plains Williamsville Wilmington Windham Woodstock |
