Registration required: Lake George Land Conservancy
Snowshoe, walk or ski across a mile of frozen Lake George to explore protected Dome Island and see the plaque that immortalizes John Apperson’s donation of the island for conservation in 1956.
Groups will leave from the LGLC office in Bolton Landing and walk a short distance down Rt. 9N to access the lake from Bixby Lane. From there, this exclusive 1-mile trek (2 miles round-trip) across the lake lasts about 2 hours and includes a brief history of the island, John Apperson, and conservation on Lake George.
There are four treks to choose from: (each trip lasts about 2 hours):
- Friday, Feb. 20 @ 10 am
- Friday, Feb. 20 @ 2 pm
- Saturday, Feb. 21 @ 10 am
- Saturday, Feb. 21 @ 2 pm
REGISTRATION: $10 per person (registration opens January 6 @ 10 a.m.)
For safety reasons, each is limited in number to 20 participants, though we may be able to expand the number of participants if the ice conditions allow.
In order to ensure as many people as possible may participate, do not register for more than one of these slots please.
