The arrival of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad at Lake George in 1882 significantly affected life in the region. Early vacationers often came in rail cars directly from New York City and Albany. While wealthy visitors relaxed at lakeside resorts such as the Fort William Henry Hotel, there were also retreats for others. For many years, a track curved from the railroad station onto the nearby steamboat pier, allowing rail travelers continuing up the lake to board the sidewheelers Sagamore and Horicon.
