“The Lake can’t protect itself.”

The memories we treasure—clear water, familiar shorelines, family gatherings and quiet moments beside the Lake—depend on the choices we make today.

We listen to Our Lake through science.

We strengthen Our Voice through education and advocacy.

We protect Our Future by advancing solutions that endure.

Your Lake George story may have started years ago. Someone else’s may begin today aboard the Floating Classroom.

By becoming an LGA member—or renewing or elevating your support—you help ensure that every generation can discover Lake George, fall in love with it and add their voice to its protection.

Become a member: https://lakegeorgeassociation.org/membership

To learn more about membership, contact Megan Seeley, Membership & Development Manager, at [email protected] or (518) 920-3882.

Together, we are the voice of the Lake.

Was it a childhood spent on the Lake? A family camp passed from one generation to the next? A favorite bay, trail, or shoreline? Or the belief that Lake George must be protected for those who will experience it after us?

Through Voices of Lake George, we are collecting the personal stories behind our membership—and we would love to hear yours.

Current 2026 LGA members can answer three quick questions and share photos in less than five minutes. Your story may be featured in an upcoming Member Monday post.

Fall scenes from Lake George!

While the first image below isn't of Lake George, it is Edgecomb Pond, which provides drinking water for Bolton!

This pond also serves as our control site for a research effort studying salt content in Finkle Brook. A control site is important to any study as it helps communicate what water quality would be like without anthropogenic (human) influence.

Keep sharing your photos of Lake George with us as we get closer to peak foliage: https://lakegeorgeassociation.org/submit-photos

📍Lake George, NY 🍂🍁

As the fall leaves turn and the hustle and bustle of the summer season dies down, the LGA continues to work to protect this amazing Lake.

Stream sampling, septic and stormwater grant management and the 2026 NYS Salt Summit are just a few examples of initiatives that the LGA works on year-round!

Some children step aboard the LGA’s Floating Classroom having never been on Lake George—even though they live only minutes away.

Others have seen the Lake throughout their lives but have never truly looked beneath its surface.

Todd Earl has watched hesitant students leave, offering a handshake or a fist bump. He has seen adults become every bit as curious as the children beside them.

Each experience reminds him that the next Lake Protector may begin with one moment of wonder.

“We are always educating the next generation of Lake Protectors,” Todd says.

Every LGA member has a story. What’s yours?

Behind every membership is a personal connection to Lake George—and a reason for helping to protect it.

Today, we are launching Member Monday, a new series celebrating the people whose membership powers the science, education, advocacy, and direct action needed to safeguard the Lake.

If you have renewed your LGA membership for 2026, we invite you to tell us:

💧 What connects you to Lake George

💙 Which memories, traditions, or places mean the most to you

🌊 Why you invest in the LGA’s work to protect the Lake

The form includes three quick questions and takes less than five minutes. You can also share photos of your family, camp or home, favorite place, or special moments on or near the Lake.

Selected stories will be featured during Member Mondays on the LGA’s social media channels and in other communications.
