Your tour can begin anywhere along the 3.3 mile
loop and you may wish to do the tour over several
days. You may wish to start at stop #1. You should
be in good health to walk the route or use a vehicle
Take precautions to avoid potential problems from
heat, cold, or bad weather. Walkers should use the
walkways. Please maintain the integrity of the
historical and natural sites. Restrooms are located
along the route. Enjoy the tour and pay Lake George
a return visit.
The 32 mile long Lake George is nestled in the Adirondack
Mountains which rise 2,500 feet above the lake. The lake has
a maximum depth of about 200 ft. and some 172 islands.
Most of the lake is spring fed. Lake George was an integral
part of the natural navigation system running south-north
from the mouth of the Hudson River to the Lake George
region, to Lake Champlain, to the Richelieu River, and on to
the St. Lawrence River. Control of this corridor during colonial
times meant domination of the region.
September 8, 1755 - The Battle of Lake George was
fought at the south end of the lake. This was a great
British victory over the French and their Native American
allies.
March 1757 - The French crossed ice-covered Lake
George and attacked Fort William Henry. However, the
French retreated after they were unable to seize the fort
August 1757 - The French again attacked Fort William
Henry and the entrenched camp in what is now Lake
George Battlefield Park. This time the British surrendered
and the French burned the fort before departing.
July 1758 - 15,000 British and provincials left the south
end of Lake George and attacked French-held Fort
Carillon (Ticonderoga) on Lake Champlain. There the
British were defeated.
1759 - The British under General Jefferv Amherst pushed
beyond Lake George to Lake Champlain. The British
seized Fort Carillon, renamed it Fort Ticonderoga, and
then occupied Fort St. Frederic (Crown Point). During this
campaign, Fort George in the Lake George Battlefield
Park was constructed, as well as a log stockaded fort.
1763 - The Treaty of Paris ended the French & Indian War
with the British victorious.
The American Revolution - Lake George was the scene
of warfare with the Battle at Diamond Island in 1777. and
several military actions at Fort George including
Carlton's Raid in 1780.
Also, located here was the smallpox hospital for the
American army in 1776.

I was walking my dog past the Lake George Steamboat co where we found bowls of water and dog treats as well as the self guided tour I'm sure you will find one there, it's across from Fort William Henry.
