Lake George is an unincorporated town and a U.S. Post Office in Park County, Colorado, United States. The Lake George Post Office has the ZIP Code 80827. It lies along U.S. Route 24 northwest of Colorado Springs, and several miles north of Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. [Rand McNally. "The Road Atlas '06." Chicago: Rand McNally, 2006, p. 40.]

History

The town was a railroad stop and was named for the lake in New York. The lake itself freezes mostly solid in the wintertime, which made it ideal for railroad men to cut large blocks of ice from it in order to keep perishables cool. Also related to the town's railroading history, a short walk into the surrounding hills reveals Chinese bread ovens, from the period their labor was imported.
