beyond the border of the United States, while
two-thirds of the 600 square miles of its area
are in the Green Mountain State. The lake
may be described long and narrow. for at its
southern end 1t is less than quarter Of mile
wide, and much of it is not more than mile.
but at the north. with large islands within ;ts
area, It is thirteen miles wide. The depth is
sufficient for the largest vessels. The shore line
is winding and there many deep bays and
fine headands that enhance the beauty Of its
scenery. To the eastward. score of miles
away, but with the submits in full view, are
the Green Mountains, while the westward
but nearer at hand. are the Adirondacks. The
outlet of the lake is to the northward by the
RicheIeu or Sorel River. which drains into the
St Lawrence. while a canal connects 1t with the
Hudson from Whitehall. The waters of Lake
George are discharged into Lake Champlain. On
the shores of the larger lake are a number oe
thriving towns. including Plattsburg. Whitehall'
