CWoodman, and everyone. next year when you are out on the lake, drive by the marinas and look at all the NY registrations! Why does DEP allow this? On Congamond, they go right up to your door if you have an out of state tag and make you prove you are not just there for the weekend!. If this lake has public access, how does ANY local lake authority have ANY rights? In Mass we call any lakes over a certain acreage "great ponds" and no local yokels can dothis kind of crap! Sure have a fee for the season, but account for every penny, improve the ramps, enforce the rules and pave latins and clean the porta potties more!
