Million Dollar Beach
A state public beach at the south end of the lake, with clear water and mountains behind it, making it the most convenient swimming spot in Lake George Village.
The beach is managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. It is named after the roughly one million dollars spent on its construction in the 1950s. The wide sandy beach has lifeguards, changing rooms, and picnic areas, and paddleboard and kayak rentals are available. It is about a 10-minute walk from the center of Lake George Village. In summer, parking costs about 10 US dollars per vehicle, while walking in is free. Lake fireworks can often be seen from the beach on summer evenings.
