Fascinating facts LakeGeorge There are many myths about our magnificent Lake George and its flow of water although there is no evidence to support these far-fetched theories. Lake George is what’s known as an endorheic lake – it has no outflow of water. Studies by hydrologists have revealed the levels in this million year old body of water are determined entirely by the natural processes of rainfall, run-off and evaporation. As the lake is so shallow, each of these effects is much more noticeable than in deeper bodies of water. Since 1949, 13 people have died in Lake George’s seemingly placid waters, including most famously five naval cadets from Duntroon who drowned when their boat overturned in freezing water in 1956. Using July as a reference, rainfall was 64% below the average for New South Wales; this continues the run of drier than average July months for the state, with 2018 and 2017 the fifth and ninth driest July months on record respectively.
