00:07Lake George in New York was named the cleanest, so I spent a long weekend at the Sagamore Resort

00:14two factors that help it stay free from pollution. Plus, a large portion of the
00:17lake is surrounded by protected old-growth forest and backed by the Adirondack Mountains.
00:21And these days, the water quality is painstakingly monitored by teams of scientists.
00:24Thanks to the Sagamores' help with these conservation efforts,
00:27guests can enjoy 100 miles of clear lakeshore and over 170 islands.
