Lake George

When you think about St. Cloud, you might think of the urban downtown area, the stretches of retail opportunities, or the many higher education options that are sprinkled about town. What you may not think of, is a lake. Lake George is a small part of the downtown landscape, but a major part of St. Cloud life. Surrounded by walking paths, water features, statues, seating areas and scenic views of the St. Cloud skyline, Lake George is the epicenter for “urban meets nature” in St. Cloud. There is even kayak and paddleboard rental available on the lake during the summer, and skating during the winter. Lake George is also adjacent to Eastman Park, which is home the summer concert series, “Summertime by George!” – a weekly free event that draws thousands to the area.
