Lake George
Planing for a 3-4 days family trip on the lake this summer. Wondering where I could crash truck and trailer as well as a suggestion for a good ramp to wet the boat. Looking for a secure place. Also any suggestions are welcomed regarding places to drop the anchor, swim etc... we spend the night on the water. Thank you |
Saris is probably a good bet ... will let them chime in with more info !

A few thoughts -
1) Prior to launching on LG, every boat must be inspected for invasive species. There are several inspection points around the lake. I'd suggest Norowal Marina in Bolton Landing or the one in LG village by Million Dollar beach. Norowal offers storage, but Million Dollar Beach does not. 2) Make sure you have mufflers. There is a noise limit on the lake and the Marine Patrol does carry decibel meters. 3) Speed limit is 45 mph, but generally if you keep it under 60 mph, you will be ok. Do not speed in the Narrows or in the southern basin, whether there is a speed limit or not. The Narrows are too tight and the bottom of the lake is crowded with tour boats, tubers, rentals etc.. 4) Performance Marine/Saris Racing - Great guys and very helpful, but they will not launch you without an inspection and they do not provide that. Also, I'm not sure if they have space for truck/trailer storage. I suggest you call first. Not trying to dissuade you and in fact, Ive boated there all my life. It is spectacular. Just do your homework as above and you will be fine. |
Norwal in Bolton would be my pick , parking and the launch are good they sell the LG permit, it's pricy parking, permit and launch will cost you about $150 for 3 days plus you can tie up to there docks and walk into the village for bars, restaurants and supplies, Also look into getting a camp site on one of the islands they have a dock, firepit, picnic table and outhouse

Also what about Mossy point boat launch in Ticonderoga? Free launch. Can you leave truck and trailer for consecutive days? That’s what I am used to on lake Champlain. Safe for my gear there? I never had any issues at the Peru Dock on Lake C |

hummm. I have the corsa tips with the spiral inserts just after the exterioir rubber baffles. Dont know if these are considered as mufflers. Anyhow, I have the silence choice option. If I flip the switch off during my stay I guess I should be fine? |
I have silent choice as well. I'm told it is illegal and just having a switch makes it so, although I cannot confirm this.
However, Ive never had an issue. I use the silent choice at idle, or in no wake zones and flip the switch as I get on plane. All good. Testing is done at idle only. I don't wan to make a big deal out of this. If you come with dry pipes and rip up and down the lake at 100 mph, you're gonna have a problem. I cant see your boat being a problem. Mine never has. |
you only have to worry about the noise levels at idle. not much they can do while on plane. silent choice is deemed not acceptable, they want a fixed muffler. i ran a 900 hp motor with dry pipes but my tail pipes were under water at idle and silent as can be and never had a problem. good places to drop anchor is log bay , red rock bay or reserve a dock or camp sight on one of the islands. speak with the park commission at Norwal marina for available docks or go on the lake George park commission website . There is also a deli / convince store and a ranger station on glen island if you need anything on the water. there is also a deli and gas dock on the north east side of the Sagamore bridge in Bolton landing, resturants / bars to go to by water are the Blue water manor , algonquin and the boat house all on the east side. if you want to catch bass , best thing to do is go to the islands and drop a live minnow or worm 20-25' deep in 30-40' of water.
