Lake George has speed and noise limits because it's one of the most popular lakes in the northeast. Check the tourist stats. I go 80 every weekend and have never gotten a ticket.
Like everything else, you just have to use your head.

So when is the poker run this summer on LG? Since you have never gotten a ticket for doing 80 all the time then we should put one on.

It isnt how fast you go, its when and where you go fast. For example, our event is a closed course. So no speed or noise limit. A poker run will use all 32 miles of lake, cant shut down the whole lake for one event, and cant have boats running 100+ through the narrows where kids are tubing. The first run was a failure and ticketed because the promoter (NOT Norm, Jason or Rick) did NOT get permits, did not TRY to get permits, and hoped everything would be fine,

ANYWAY.

I started the thread w/ the hopes of learning more the event, promoting it & seeing how many OSO'rs participate. Now I understand why they refer to this site as OS Opera. YIKES!!

What?!! I wasn't saying anything more. I was talking about how good the run was and how sharp those zebras are (jokingly) and you and green eyes started back in. But whatever.

I really like LG but I'm a stubborn old man. I believe that every body of water in NYS belongs to the people that lives in NYS. I had many fun filled days on LG many years ago but when the permit system went into effect it pissed me off. I paid one time to use my boat on the lake and that was it. As much as I would like to tow up there I won't. I don't know how they can get away with the permit system and I really don't care. I'll stay on my pond where the water is free..

We're all just a little defensive over LG, sick of people, not you, but people who haven't even been here, spouting off about how its not fast boat friendly.
Hope all is well Chris.

I'll be there but obviously as a spectator. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Let me know if there is anything I can help with Johnny.
