Are there any lakes near Lake George that are more boater friendly? Looking to water test a 30 PoweQuest on the lake. Thanks..

Beuutiful lake, to bad the rules and regulations make it difficult to want to boat there. Add to that the folks enforcing the rules do not seem to know exactly how to test/enforce them and it is just not a boater friendly environment anymore.

I named three of them in my first post.

Why is it that some lakes have the name first and some the name is secondary IE: Lake George - Schroon Lake

Unfortunately don't get up there much in the summer because of the laws. Maybe one of these days I will get mufflers...

Guess my memory is going. My Bad..:poopoo::lolhit:

Thanks! We're looking at Buffalo or the Thousand Islands run. Too bad they're both the same weekend.

"There is a reason why it call the Queen of Americas lakes."

That's pretty ironic considering the lake was named after a king.

I use the hudson river. Or the northern end of the lake, before noon and during the week.

If you launch your boat on the Hudson in Albany you can make it all the way to New York City without locks or anything, with plenty of scenic stops restaurants marinas ect.

There's also the Finger Lakes, VERY NICE
