Guide
Asas Island is a small wooded island in northern Lake George, managed as a day-use stop. There are three numbered dock sites along its shore. This is an outing on the lake, not a drive-up detour.
Getting here means travelling by boat. Day-use island sites require online, site-specific reservations, so book a dock and follow its booking directions; the general island pin does not identify a particular slip. Dogs are prohibited on the islands, their docks, and boats moored at the docks.
No Asas-specific information we found confirms a restroom, drinking water, or food service, so bring what you need and plan to be self-sufficient. Lake George can get hard winds and fast storms; check boating conditions before setting out and leave the water if threatening weather moves in.
