The landscape around Lake George is a high, forested basin of central Colorado near the South Platte River, which has shaped both the settlement’s dispersed form and its recreation-based local economy. This small community in Park County sits on U.S. Route 24, between Colorado Springs and the broad grasslands of South Park. Eleven Mile Canyon, carved by the South Platte, lies nearby and connects with Eleven Mile Canyon Reservoir, a regional destination for fishing and boating. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument preserves large petrified redwood stumps and fossils from an ancient lake ecosystem.
