Eisenhower USA Postage Stamp__________________________ The NarrowsThis is a small stretch of the central section of the lake north of Bolton on the east side of Tongue Mountain, extending south from Hen and Chickens Island and north to Artists Rock (Round Rock), just north of Red Rock Bay. The ranger station for The Narrows is Glen Island as all islands within The Narrows belong to the Glen Island Group. https://www.lakegeorge.com/camping/narrows/__________________________ Camp Uncas was the second Great Camp built by William West Durant, known as the father of the Adirondack Style. He built it for his own use, from 1890 to 1892, and it is located on its own private lake, a few miles from his first camp, Pine Knot, nearby on Raquette Lake. Camp Uncas was sold to J. P. Morgan in 1896, and then to a neighbor, Margaret Vanderbilt, in 1947, who owned Camp Sagamore, nearby. She left Camp Uncas to a foundation, and it was a Boy Scout camp for a while, but is now back in private hands, owned by Barbara Glaser, who with her husband Howard Kirschenbaum, have been active preservationists of several Great Camps, including Camp Sagamore and Camp Santanoni. https://clui.org/projects/adirondack/explore-adirondack_park/camp-uncas__________________________ Big Burn Mountain North Elba, NY 12946Big Burn Mountain is a peak in Town of North Elba, Essex, New York and has an elevation of 2,923 feet. Big Burn Mountain is situated close to the hamlets Whiteface and Ray Brook.__________________________ Lake George, nicknamed the Queen of American Lakes, is a long, narrow oligotrophic lake located at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of New York. It lies within the upper region of the Great Appalachian Valley and drains all the way northward into Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River drainage basin. The lake is situated along the historical natural (Amerindian) path between the valleys of the Hudson and St. Lawrence Rivers, and so lies on the direct land route between Albany, New York, and Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The lake extends about 32.2 mi (51.8 km) on a north–south axis, is 187 ft (57 m) deep, and ranges from one to three miles (1.6 to 4.8 km) in width, presenting a significant barrier to east–west travel. Although the year-round population of the Lake George region is relatively small, the summertime population can swell to over 50,000 residents, many in the village of Lake George region at the southern end of the lake. Lake George is located in the southeastern Adirondack State Park and is part of the St. Lawrence watershed. Notable landforms include Anthony's Nose, Deer's Leap, Peggy's Point (a 15-foot [4.6 m] jump into the lake) or (a 30-foot [9.1 m] jump), the Indian Kettles, and Roger's Rock. Some of the surrounding mountains include Black Mountain, Elephant Mountain, Pilot Knob, Prospect Mountain, Shelving Rock, Sleeping Beauty Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Tongue Mountain Range. Some of the lake's more famous bays are Basin Bay, Kattskill Bay, Northwest Bay, Oneida Bay, and Silver Bay. The lake is distinguished by "The Narrows", an island-filled narrow section (approximately five miles [8 km] long) that is bordered on the west by the Tongue Mountain Range and the east by Black Mountain. In all, Lake George is home to over 170 islands, 148 of them state-owned. They range from the car-sized Skipper's Jib to the larger Vicar's and Long Islands. Camping permits are available for most islands. The lake's deepest point is 196 feet (60 m), between Dome Island and Buck Mountain in the southern quarter of the lake. The northern end of the lake that is located near Ticonderoga is considered the southern end of the Champlain Valley, which includes Lake Champlain, as well as the cities Plattsburgh, New York, and Burlington, Vermont. The Jefferson Project, a collaboration that began in 2014 between IBM, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the Fund for Lake George, is collecting data from the lake using depth sensors that can monitor currents, pH, salinity, and other data, leading the lake to be called, "the smartest lake in the world." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_George_(lake),_New_York__________________________ 1971 Canoeing on Lake George, Warren & Essex Counties, New York NY Vintage VTG Postcard Posted
