Glen Lake is a quiet, spring-fed lake just south of Lake George Village, offering a more tranquil alternative to its famous neighbor. The lake is ideal for swimming, with a public beach and clear, clean water. Fishing is popular for bass, pickerel, and panfish, while kayakers and canoeists enjoy the calm, undeveloped shoreline. A small park with picnic tables and a boat launch provides easy access. Its serene atmosphere and natural beauty make it a favorite spot for locals and visitors seeking a peaceful day on the water.

Don't miss

  • Swim from the sandy public beach on the lake's north shore
  • Fish for bass and pickerel from a kayak or canoe
  • Picnic at the lakeside park with views of the surrounding hills
