Life in the Adirondacks has a particular vibe. Maybe it’s the mountains, maybe it’s the isolation from big cities, or maybe it’s the extensive history of the area. But something about being up in this stunning range causes everything to feel just a bit more nature-oriented. You feel more at peace here, more connected to the outdoors, more self-sufficient. One small town in New York that perfectly captures that Adirondack vibe is Lake George. It’s got a small population, but features breathtaking surroundings and such a wonderful ambiance that will have you feeling at one with the natural world.
Lake George (the town) shares its name with the nearby lake. The body of water is nicknamed the Queen of American Lakes due to its beauty.
The lakeside town has a small population of under 4,000 year-round residents. The area swells with tourists in the summer months, but is generally pretty calm for the rest of the year.
The scenery is absolutely unparalleled. The Adirondacks is one of the prettiest regions of New York and a visit to Lake George will let you enjoy all that natural wonder.
The Adirondacks have inspired generations of artists, from poets to painters and more. There are a variety of festivals throughout the year dedicated to the creative arts.
But we also don't blame you if you want to enjoy your time in the Adirondacks a little more privately. Going off for a solo hike in the woods is just the thing to clear your mind from stress.
