It was a beautiful Columbus Day Weekend on Lake George. We camped at the Rogers Rock DEC State Campground and hiked Roger's Rock. The leaves were in full color and the weather was great! We kayaked up to Ticonderoga (Mohawk for "it is at the junction of two waterways"). We walked along the LaChute falls on the Riverwalk trail. There's a cute little museum ( Ticonderoga Heritage Museum) near Bicentennial Park. The campground gets its name from an English Colonial fighter during the French and Indian War named Robert Rogers. Legend says that Major Rogers fled from his Indian pursuers from the top and slid down the near vertical rock face to Lake George. The campground has mostly small sites with no services, but it is a lovely area and great for tents and small trailers.
