	Thomas Jefferson's 1700's account of his visit to Lake George stands true to this very day:  "Lake George is without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw: formed by a contour of mountains into a basin thirty-five miles long and two to four miles broad, finely interspersed with islands, its water limpid as crystal and the mountainsides covered with rich groves of silver fir, white pine, aspen and paper birch down to the water, here and there percipices of rock to checker the scene and save it from monotony.  An abundance of speckled trout, salmon trout, bass, and other fish with which it is stored, have added to our other amusements of the sport of taking them"  -Thomas Jefferson
