Golden leaves in Shepard Park in Lake George Village.
We also drove up the 5 1/2 mile Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway to go up to the top of Prospect
Mountain at about 2,000 feet of elevation to enjoy the breathtaking autumn views of Lake George and the
surrounding mountains. Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway is a scenic parkway located in the town
of Lake George, New York. The Parkway starts near the junction of US 9/NY 9N and Highway 6 (Fort George
Road) and ends at the peak of Prospect Mountain. There are three very scenic overlooks along the way for
fantastic views. At the top is a breathtaking view of the Lake and mountains, as far away as Vermont and New
Hampshire.

Prospect Mountain is one of iconic landmarks of Lake George Region. This beautiful mountain, located in the
foothills of the Adirondacks, has a 2030 foot summit with magnificent panoramic views of Lake George and
Adirondack Region. It is very popular among tourists, locals, and hikers because of its 100-mile view at the
peak, and anyone can either hike or drive up to the top.

We then drove north on scenic Highway 9N along west shore of Lake George to enjoy the gorgeous lake and
the beautiful autumn foliage along the 32-mile long Lake George.

A steamboat for tourists to enjoy fantastic autumn foliage along Lake George.
One of the tourist's attractions in downtown Lake George Village is known as Acoustic Mystery Spot. It is a
circular plaza near the marina of the steamboat and near the junction of Canada Street (i.e., Route 9N) and
Beach Road (i.e. Route 51). There is a large circle on the cement floor with a blue colored map of Lake
George on the floor. It is surrounded by a semi-circular (low) stone wall overlooking the lake. If one stands at
the precise center of the circle represented by the worn gold cross on the floor and make a sound, the person
will be stunned by the strong reverberating echo reflected back from the semi-circular stone wall. It is
described in more details at the following website:

The dam on Bouquet River in Willsboro, New York.
Fishway (Fish Ladder) near Gilliland Lane on east side of the dam on Bouquet River in Willsboro, New York.
It is about 1,500 feet north of the junction of Gilliland Lane and Main Street (Rt. 22 and the Bridge) in
Willsboro.
The Bouquet River, located in Northeastern New York, is known for its Atlantic Salmon runs. The fish ladder
here affords migrating salmon the chance to overleap Willsboro Dam en route from Lake Champlain to their
fall spawning grounds upstream—and the glass window on Fishway enables visitors to witness the salmon
runs through the fish ladder.
We came to this Fishway in the afternoon of October 18, 2013. But we did not see salmon swimming up the
fish ladder probably because October 18 is too late in the salmon migration and spawning season.

Continue driving north, we took the turnoff to Willsboro Point, a fingerlike peninsula that shelters one of
Champlain’s largest and perhaps most scenic inlets, the Willsboro Bay. Reminiscent of a Nordic fjord for
kayakers or tourists on tour boat, four-mile-long Willsboro Bay is walled on the west by sheer cliffs that tumble
to the water’s edge.
From Highway 22 in Willsboro, we turned north into Farrell Road for a short distance, then turn right (east) into
Point Road (Highway 27) to go north along east shore of the peninsula to the Willsboro Point. Then go south
on Corlear Road on the west shore of the peninsula to enjoy the views on Willsboro Bay.

Fantastic view of the Keeseville Rainbow Falls at Ausable Chasm with autumn colors as viewed from the high
arch bridge of Route 9. This is the most visited and the most photographed waterfalls in the Adirondacks. It
is located at 2144 Route 9, Ausable Chasm/Keeseville, NY 12911. On bright autumn days, flaming foliage
ignites the chasm’s clifftops as well as patches along its walls, making for an especially breathtaking
spectacle.

Zoom in for closer view of the Keeseville Rainbow Falls at Ausable Chasm. It is about 10 miles northwest of
Willsboro Bay. This deep gorge is about 100 to 200 feet high. The building on the right side is the
hydro-electric power generation facility. There is a hiking trail into the chasm and to walk along the wall of the
deep Chasm with awesome views as shown on the pictures in the following website:
