SAFETY ON THE LAKE

• Follow a counter-clockwise direction around the lake, in particular around the island.
• Powered vessels should give way to kayaks, swimmers, paddle boards, canoes, sail boats etc.
• Be aware of the shallow rock shoal area to the North of the island, particularly mid-summer through the fall when the water level is lower, look for the white marker buoys indicating the shoal area.
• Always be on the look out for SWIMMERS, they do not show up easily, in particular when swimming out to the island.
• Use US Coast Guard rules for safety.
• Know the law and obey it, you are responsible for your and your minors actions.
• NY State law requires that anyone operating a jet ski be at least 18 yo and have passed a NY boater safety course.
• Use US Coast Guard approved navigation lights between dusk and dawn.
• SLOW DOWN in shallow areas, always keep a safe distance from the shore.
• The island is private property owned by the Girl Scout Camp, please do not go ashore.
