Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We begin our tour of New York's Lake George in a community on the north end of the lake, famous for a fort that was the site of a battle in the year 1775. Name it.

Answer: Ticonderoga

Fort Ticonderoga was taken over by the Americans in 1775 after a battle between Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys and the British, who eventually surrendered the fort. In the 1990s, the Village of Ticonderoga decided to become a hamlet.
2. We row into New York's Lake George as it meets this river, which flows into Ticonderoga and into Lake Champlain. Which river?

Answer: La Chute River

The La Chute River is a very short river that connects Lake George with Lake Champlain. It flows right through the heart of Ticonderoga.
3. Now that we are well into New York's Lake George, we decide to ride a motor boat and no longer row. However, we cannot go as fast as we want, for there is a speed limit on Lake George. During daylight hours, what is the speed limit?

Answer: 45 MPH

During daylight, the speed limit is 45 MPH and at night, the speed limit is 25 MPH. However, in some areas of the lake (e.g. Sandy Bay, Dunham's Bay), there is a speed limit of 5 MPH so that boats do not produce a damaging wake to boats and houses that surround these bays.

True to its name, the Tongue Mountain Range is located on a peninsula that resembles the shape of a tongue. When hiking in these mountains, be sure to watch out for rattlesnakes.
6. We travel south out of the Narrows in New York, into the larger section of Lake George. Right south of the Narrows is Log Bay, famous for what party-like "festival" each summer?

Answer: Log Bay Day

Each summer, Log Bay Day occurs, bringing with it a lot of commotion throughout the lake. Occasionally, party goers are ticketed or arrested for crimes such as underage drinking, drug use, and reckless boating.
7. On the western shore of Lake George sits the hamlet of Bolton Landing, New York. On an island, there is a famous resort called the Sagamore. What is the island called?

8. Back on the east shore of the lake is a New York community that shares the name of a nearby mountain. The name of the community is indicative of someone who flies an airplane. What is it?

Answer: Pilot Knob

A pilot flies an airplane! Pilot Knob isn't a very large community. It is located in Warren County, New York.
9. As we approach the Village of Lake George, we decide to go camping on an island that is about one mile in length and very narrow. It shares its name with a more famous island east of New York City. What is its name?
