DEC Announces Temporary Closure of Lake George Beach and Storm Damage Closures on Lake George Islands

Camping and Day-Use Sites in Narrow Island Group of Lake George Islands Closed Due to Storm Damage

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced the temporary closure of Million Dollar Beach in Lake George, Warren County. Recent heavy rains resulted in elevated levels of the bacteria Escherichia coli, or E. coli, found in water sampling at the beach. The beach will remain closed to all patrons until testing results indicate improved water quality. This is a precautionary step to assure protection of the health and safety of bathers. More information about Lake George Beach Day Use Area is available on the DEC website.

DEC also announced the temporary closure of many camping and day-use sites in the Narrow Island group of Lake George Islands. Due to storm damage in the area occurring on the evening of July 16, many campsites and day-use sites will be closed until further notice while cleanup of trees and repairs to infrastructure and docks takes place. Customers with affected reservations will be notified shorty.

More information about Lake George Islands Campgrounds and Lake George Islands Day Use is available on the DEC website.
