WATER SPORTS
AT A GLANCE
• On land or water, Lake George’s options provide a world-class natural competitive arena.
THE HIGHLIGHTS Quoted by Oyster magazine as the “3rd Cleanest Lake in the Country,” Lake George’s pristine waters and sandy beaches provide the perfect backdrops for world-class on-water events from paddleboard races to endurance swims (all 32 miles!), triathlons, kayaking and boating.
Anglers can try their hand at fishing these crystal-clear waters, and the lake is host to numerous events, including the annual King George Fishing Derby and Kayak Bass Fishing Derby. With more than 36 species of fish in the lake, including Northern pike, lake trout, Atlantic salmon, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and chain pickerel, the fishing options are endless.
For those looking for more excitement, our on-water powerboat and jet ski racing series get adrenaline pumping, and in the colder months, the lake freezes, offering ample opportunities for ice fishing, skating and the occasional outhouse races at Winter Carnival.
