Just before you enter Lake George Village heading north, there's a turnoff on the left to Prospect Mtn. There's an $8 per car fee to head up the mountain. From the road there are 3 pullouts with nice views of Lake George and the surrounding area. From the upper parking area, a shuttle (every 8 mintues the day weekend day... more

We always make our stop here first whenever we come to LG. This past Labor Day, we brought our little gas Weber grill and made hotdogs and hamburgers in the picnic area up at the top - what a way to dine, with nature's scenery laid out before you. It's the most serene and awesome experience. The view from the... more

But i must warn you, the hike has some steep parts to it. However, when you drive, you will see the nice road and three views. The Narrows, Lake... more

A great outing for a morning, and even better if you bring a picnic lunch while at the top! Awesome views, and great photo shots of the entire area. Cost is $8.00 per carload. more

Prospect mountain was a great morning. The views are spectacular. There are about 4 "stops" on your way up the mountain with views as far as the eye can see. Worth every penny. My family loved it. Here is a hint: In summer months BRING BUG SPRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The top if the mountain was INFESTED with bugs. They were everywhere. That... more

The view from the peak of Prospect Mountain is absolutely amazing. You get a 360 view of the entire Lake George. It only costs $8 to entire the Prospect Moutain Memorial Highway which includes your car's drive to the parking lot and the viewmobile (bus) that takes you to the peak. If you plan on hiking, I'm not sure if... more

Great view of Lake George from the summit. We parked at the top of the summit & my wife took the tour van up to the top. Me & my son chose to walk on a trail to the summit. Great walk, for the physically fit. Beautiful outlook & a great picnic area overlooking Lake George. The $7 admission &... more

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to drive through the Lake George Area. We decided to take a bit of a detour to take the drive on Prospect Mountain Mem. Highway. It was an experience that I will not soon forget. The Fall Foliage was at its peak. The drive up the small mountain was lined with beautifully... more

I live in Lake George and frequently climb this mountain with my friends. If you have a decent sense of direction you can easily venture off the trail and follow along a nice stream that goes about half way up the moutain. You can also find many beautiful overlooks when getting closer to the top. To find them however you... more
