Information AboutLake George (town), Colorado |

The town was a railroad stop and was named for the lake in New York State . The lake itself freezes mostly solid in the wintertime, which made it ideal for railroad men to cut large blocks of ice from it in order to keep perishables cool. Also related to the town's railroading history, a short walk into the surrounding hills reveals Chinese bread ovens, from the period their labor was imported. Nearby is Camp Alexander, the Scout camp for Pikes Peak Council , as well as the Elevenmile Reservoir. |
