The Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway is a parkway located in the town of Lake George, New York.
The road is 5.88 miles (9.46 km) long, running from U.S. Route 9 (US 9) to the peak of Prospect Mountain.
[3] The parkway begins at an intersection with Routes 9 and 9N (Canada Street) in the town of Lake George.
Prospect Mountain originally had to use an incline railway car to access the house at the top where people could dance and eat.
[8] For 30 years, people studied what to do with the land, which was owned by the state, and in 1954, New York Governor Tom Dewey signed legislation to build a highway up the mountain.
