Where to get your boat inspected on Lake George
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (NEWS10) - It's been a rainy week, but the weather's been getting better - and boat season is fast approaching on Lake George. When it's time for boats to get in the water, it's also time to get them inspected - for the good of the lake and its clean water.
The Lake George Park Commission operates several boat inspection locations around Lake George. As of this weekend, all of those locations will be open for the season. Boat inspection stations are a crucial control point for keeping harmful invasive species out of the lake. The Lake George Association reports that no new invasive species have been found in Lake George since the program began in 2014.
