Lake George is the closet thing on earth to heaven. Even if not being out on the water, the whole essence of the place is so fulfilling. I prefer the northern end where things are quieter than the village on the bottom. A trip or two over the mountain for the fireworks and the restaurants is nice. And it doesn't matter if it is raining and the squalls are running up the lake, just sitting out on the porch watching the mountains on the east side of the lake come and go in the downpours is really cool.
