The lake in numbers (NYS DEC)

- Area: 28,451 acres (DEC).
- Shoreline: 82 miles (DEC).
- Maximum depth: 187 feet (DEC and Wikipedia agree).

Why this matters for renters: a long, narrow lake means the same "Lake George" label can cover places many miles apart. Check the map pin, not just the title.
Public access listed by DEC
DEC's Lake George page lists access points, including Rogers Rock Campground, a DEC campground. Check the DEC Lake George page for current access, rules and seasons.
