Lake George

Destination adopted by: The Shahri Family

  • Snug between the solitary white tower of Crystal Crag and the granite wall of the Mammoth Crest, Lake George is the highest road-accessible lake in the Lakes Basin. The parking area at road's end features bear-proof food storage, a selection of picnic and camping sites, rustic cabin rentals, access to the lakeshore and boat dock and a handful of popular trailheads. A small store offers boat rentals, tackle and snacks in summer. Access in winter is by ski or snowshoe only.
