Lake George Wild Forest

The Lake George Wild Forest consists of approximately 71,133 acres of State Forest Preserve lands in the southeastern Adirondacks in the towns of Bolton, Chester, Hague, Horicon, Lake George, Lake Luzerne, Queensbury and Warrensburg in Warren County and the towns of Dresden, Fort Ann, and Putnam in Washington County and is generally bounded on the north by the Warren County line, on the west by the Hudson River, and on the south and east by the Adirondack Park boundary. The Lake George Wild Forest contains miles of marked trails available to explore, allowing the public to easily access a variety of majestic natural attractions such as Black Mountain, Shelving Rock, and Prospect Mountain.

Recreationists also enjoy year-round activities on Lake George, and popular fishing and camping locations at Lily Pond, Jabe Pond, Gay Pond and Palmer Pond. The Lake George Wild Forest is a popular area for motorized recreational uses and ice fishing, and serves as an important link with the adjoining snowmobile trail network.

In addition, the Hudson River Recreation Area of the Lake George Wild Forest enables the public to experience a unique flatwater environment and other recreation opportunities along this historic waterway.

Water

Lake George almost looks nice enough for a swim. The boaters certainly where enjoying the lake.

ATV Use Prohibited

They don't really have any ATV trails left in the Adirondacks on State Lands, due to the radical environmentalists suing, and the DEC not really doing much to defend their trails.

Vermont

The marshy southern part of Lake Champlain is not visible in this picture due to the Bark Mountain, Sugar Loaf, and other mountains in the foreground, but beyond that is the relatively flat lands of the Lake Champlain Valley around West Haven, VT.
