Million Dollar Beach

Million Dollar Beach is a public sand beach along Lake George with broad sandy areas and views of surrounding mountains. The shoreline features designated swimming zones with lifeguard supervision, picnic facilities, and visitor amenities throughout the day.

The beach was developed in the mid-20th century as part of Lake George's recreational infrastructure expansion. This growth was driven by increasing regional tourism interest that made the lake a popular summer destination.

The beach serves as a gathering place where visitors and local residents spend summer days swimming, picnicking, and enjoying time with family. The open shoreline and designated swimming areas define the season's social rhythm.

The beach is accessible from May through September with ample parking and facilities including restrooms and changing rooms. Arriving early on sunny days helps secure good spot and avoid crowding as the day progresses.

A dedicated boat inspection and washing station at the beach helps prevent invasive species from entering Lake George's waters. This facility reflects ongoing efforts to protect the lake's ecosystem and water quality.
