Narrow Island Group: Adirondack Camping On Lake George

The Narrow Island Group (not to be confused with the “Narrows”) is located in the central part of Lake George, north of the Glen Island Group. The Narrow Island Group consists of the “Mother Bunch” of islands at the base of Black Mountain extending to Mallory Island off the eastern Silver Bay shoreline. Some of these islands are large enough to allow up to six people per campsite, but on some of the smaller islands, campers are restricted to only two or four per site.

The Narrow Island Group is 7 miles north of Bolton Landing. This is the quietest and most private of all the island locations. All sites have a dock, fireplace, picnic table, and toilet facility.
