About this place
Metered paid parking is prevalent throughout the Village of Lake George, with the closest parking on the main street (Canada Street) where the main entrance is located. Entrance is also possible by approaching from the lower lake side.
Park is well shaded. Paved paths at the top and bottom are wheelchair accessible, but the paths and steps from top to bottom are steep for wheelchair and mobility impaired users, so please use caution. Grass areas are tiered to accomodate the slope of the park which begins at street level, and proceeds down near the lake. Each tiered area has a wheelchair accessibe front paved area for lake viewing.
The swimming area may not have a lifeguard on-duty, please use caution and do not swim outside of the marked area as there is heavy boat traffic.
Due to a fire in June, 2024, the old amphitheater remains have been removed and a new one is under construction, slated to open in 2025.
