These 15 Amazing Lakes In The USA Are A MUST On Your Bucket List

Lake George, a.k.a. The Queen of American Lakes is nestled in at the base of the well-known Adirondack Mountains in the northeastern section of New York state. It's a narrow, long, oligotrophic lake. It drains into the St. Lawrence River drainage basin and Lake Champlain. The number of people who live there all year is relatively small. The number of residents in the summer, however, is over 50,000. So if you want to avoid crowds the best time to visit is not summer.
