Lake George Land Conservancy, Inc.

The Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) is an accredited not-for-profit land trust dedicated to working with willing landowners and other partners to protect the world-renowned water quality of Lake George and to permanently preserve the natural, scenic, historic and recreational resources of the Lake George region.

LGLC’s land protection program has worked directly and with partners to permanently protect over 11,530 acres of Lake George wilderness and 6.7 miles of lake shoreline, and owns and/or manages 31 parks and preserves that are open to the public year-round or by special request/restricted access. With nearly 40 miles of trails for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and, at some preserves, hunting and snowmobiling, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

LGLC also offers public hikes and educational programs, develops interpretive materials for display and for public speaking opportunities, and utilizes the unique abilities and enthusiasm of community volunteers to fill a variety of roles including as program leaders and dedicated Preserve Stewards.

Special Notice re. COVID-19: At this time, most of LGLC’s preserves remain open for you to enjoy, but we strongly recommend checking lglc.org to confirm before heading out. Please follow all “social distancing” measures and hygiene protocols recommended by the CDC and other government agencies while visiting the trails. If a preserve’s parking lot is full, please come back another time. Spread out on the trail. Stay safe!

Visit www.lglc.org or stop by our office in downtown Bolton Landing to get preserve guides and more information, or for more information on volunteer opportunities, land protection, and preserving Lake George’s unique natural heritage. While the office is currently closed to the public, brochures are available from our outdoor kiosk, 24/7.
