00:00This East Coast lake has water so clean it's certified safe for drinking.
00:03Of the nearly 480,000 lakes in the lower 48 US states,
00:07Lake George in New York was named the cleanest, so I spent a long weekend at the Sagamore Resort
00:10to check it out. The lake is fed by mountain streams and sits close to its water source,
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.
00:30I can certainly say that I'll be back.
