By Lorine McGinnis Schulze Lake George is in northeastern New York State, in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, . Its waters flow into Lake Champlain, to the north, through a narrow channel. The swift descent from Lake George to Lake Champlain is marked by rapids and falls. The first European to see Lake George was Father Jogues, a French Jesuit missionary, taken captive by the Mohawk in 1642. Father Jogues later named the lake Lac Saint Sacrament. In 1755, the British soldier and colonial official Sir William Johnson renamed it Lake George in honor of George II. During the French and Indian War and during the American Revolution, Lake George, on a transportation route between New York and Canada, was the scene of many battles. The most famous was the Battle of Lake George, fought on September 8, 1755, in which a force of French and Native Americans was defeated by a British colonial force under General William Johnson. The battle is commemorated by a monument in Lake George Battleground Park at Lake George village.
