Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway
A winding road of about 9 km climbs to the summit behind the village of Lake George, with views over the whole lake and the green and white mountains beyond.
The road begins at Route 9 on the west side of the village and climbs about 9 km, with three scenic pullouts along the way. The final stretch is covered by a free shuttle that carries visitors to the summit, about 620 meters above sea level. On clear days you can see the Green Mountains of Vermont and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The summit still preserves remnants of a 19th-century cable railway and a mountaintop hotel. Vehicles pay about $15 per car. You can also hike up from the village along a trail of about 2.5 km.
