Ticonderoga, Iroquois for “the land between two waters,” sits between Lake George and Lake Champlain in the Adirondacks, with the La Chute River connecting the two lakes as it winds through downtown. With its scenic lakes and mountains, rich history, arts and culture, and year-round outdoor recreation, Ticonderoga offers plenty to explore. Visit Fort Ticonderoga and the Hancock House, take in the views from Mount Defiance, follow the La Chute River Walk Trail, or enjoy the shores of Lake Champlain by boat, beach or fishing line.

Downtown, Montcalm Street is lined with local eateries, art galleries and specialty shops, while nearby trails, parks and historic sites offer more ways to experience the community. Ticonderoga is also receiving $10 million through New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative, supporting projects designed to strengthen and enhance the community.
