Great Beaches to Visit in the Lake George Region

Summer days in the Southern Adirondacks are made for beach time—and the Lake George region offers a wide range of scenic spots to swim, sunbathe, paddle, and play. From popular shores in Lake George Village to quiet gems tucked in small towns like Brant Lake, Warrensburg, and Lake Luzerne, there’s a beach for every kind of Adirondack adventure.

You can find all beach details, directions, and more by selecting the "Water" tab on our Warren County Recreation Map!

Here’s your guide to some of the best public beaches in the region:
