I can't make it tomorrow. All-day lacrosse tournament. What is the water like there? I've never been.
The water is a )deep, bring a floatation device is my recommendation; b ) clean, but not clear. It's one of those green water NY lakes, so don't expect to see the bottom anywhere c ) full of flora and fauna. It really starts to weed up as the summer progresses. Right now its fine, just swimming through small patches of lake grass, but in a few weeks, there may be more weeds than I'm comfortable with, in which case, I'll move to the Hudson for OWS d ) a popular fishing hole. fisherman and kayaks seem to start arriving at around 7am. No motorboats allowed, so not a safety issue. I personally just dont want to go flopping around scaring fish near some other dad who is trying to catch some fishies with his kids. There's enough room for everyone, about a 3,000 yard circle, but you can swim anything in between. e ) near some great places to ride a bike, namely rt 301 and the various country roads that cross it.
There's no set meetup that I know of. So if you have time some other time and want to go, just post it and maybe someone else likes that time as well... |
