VISIT

Visitors are welcome to enjoy Peggy’s Point year-round, dawn to dusk.

In 2023, the LGLC contracted with Tahawus Trails to extend the existing path all the way to the waterfront, and make the entire path universally accessible. The path is 5-feet wide, made of compacted stone, and includes a turnaround at the trail’s end. Along the way, visitors can enjoy the many flowering plants that border the path and populate Mary Lou’s Friendship Garden, and stop to rest at an accessible picnic table and gazebo.

Park use includes picnicking, dog-walking (please keep dogs leashed and use the dog waste receptacle to clean up after your dog), fishing and other passive recreation. Swimming is not permitted.

Parking is available on Rt 8 or at the Hague Town Park. Sidewalks lead to the Peggy’s Point entrance.

About

Peggy’s Point was formally dedicated on June 24, 2011, in honor of Margaret “Peggy” A. Darrin. A longtime supporter of the LGLC and all things Lake George, Peggy donated this 1.9-acre property to the LGLC in 2004 to be  maintained as a park for public enjoyment.

The park includes 315 feet of lake shoreline, a popular spot for anglers and anyone who wishes to sit and enjoy a peaceful moment on the point. Having previously hosted a motel, cabins, and a convenience store, the restored  property is now a universally accessible park with towering trees and space for families to play and picnic together. The park’s gazebo also offers a shaded spot to relax.

The beautiful entrance gate, featuring a great blue heron, was made possible by a legacy gift from Julia Beaty of Hague. From there, you can follow a path bordered by plants that were provided by community members in honor of or in memory of a special person, place or event. This path leads to Mary Lou’s Friendship Garden, named in honor of Mary Lou Doulin, Hague resident and volunteer extraordinaire who has kept watch over Peggy’s Point and worked tirelessly to keep the entire park looking great.
