Norowal Marina

Sagamore Road in Bolton Landing, on the south end of Lake George near the Bolton village core. Norowal has operated for 80-plus years, which is institutional age on this lake, and the working role here is launching: the marina is one of the primary trailer-boat access points to the lake's southern basin, the Narrows, and the islands beyond. The new launch ramp is the recent investment that handles a variety of watercraft, from canoe up to mid-size motorboats. Seasonal docking holds more than 50 boats. Dry summer storage and off-season storage cover the year-round needs of boat owners who don't want to trailer back home between trips. The three-plus acres of trailer parking are the under-marketed amenity. Lake George Park Commission requires invasive-species inspection and washing for boats coming in from outside the basin; Norowal handles those services on site, which removes one step from the launch sequence. Rates, short-term dock reservations, and lake-navigation links live on the marina website. Best for owners trailering in for a weekend who want a quieter alternative to the village launch traffic at the south end.
