Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources tracks the lake by the name George and the identifier 02-0091-00.

[1][2] The USGS tracks the lake by the ID 644081 and the coordinates of 45°21′25″N 93°20′10″W / 45.35694°N 93.33611°W / 45.35694; -93.33611[3] Roughly circular in shape with two marshes encircling Greenwald Island on the Southern shore, Lake George Regional Park covers much of the North shore.

The park has picnic areas, a boat launch, and a large roped-off swimming beach.

[4] The regions around the lake are known as: Paradise Alley, Beaver Shores, Lake George Regional Park, Cattail Oak, Shady Oak, South Bay, Greenwald Island, Indian Ridge Road.

In 1847, Federal surveyors established the section and township boundaries as well as locations of Indian burial mounds.

[6] After the settlement of the area, Lake George began to become popular for urban dwellers looking to find summer recreation.

[7][8] Aaron and wife, Ann, had two sons: William born August 8, 1859, and Louis on Oct 10, 1860.

In the 1970s the face of the lake's neighborhoods began to change with permanent homes replacing the summer cabins.

Lake George exhibits very good water clarity with a summer average of 10.5 feet (3.2 m) in 2004.

In addition to Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed (8 locations), another non-native species is also in Lake George.

[4] Because Lake George exhibits very clear conditions, it may be more prone to the spread of milfoil to deeper water.
