Lake George at Rogers Rock in New York has a rich history, having been used by Native Americans for centuries before being discovered by Europeans in the early 1700s. The lake has a surface area of 44.2 square miles and a maximum depth of 200 feet. The lake is fed by several small streams and is primarily drained by the LaChute River. The lake's hydrology is affected by the snowpack from surrounding mountains, which contributes to the lake's water levels in the spring. The lake serves as a source of drinking water for several nearby communities and is also used for recreation, including boating, swimming, and fishing. The surrounding area is primarily wooded, with some agricultural uses such as hay and corn production.
