After college, she plans to have a career in Environmental Regulations and help to protect the same Adirondack Park she grew up and enjoys spending time in. Volunteering to help clean up the Ohio River, she experienced the importance of clean waters and decided to help keep Lake George pristine. Jason Smith Lake Steward From Queensbury, New York, Jason is a student at Fredonia State University earning a degree in Environmental Science with concentrations in Limnology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). As a resident of the Lake George area and frequent user of the lake and its watershed he has taken an interest in the impacts of recreation, specifically boating, on Lake George. Samantha Zuhlke Lake Steward Alternate In her second summer as the LGA’s Education and Outreach Intern, Samantha Zuhlke was the Lake Steward Alternate for the 2008 season.

DRAFT Key Findings Number of Boats The Lake Stewards visually inspected 2984 boats over the summer. 1264 boats were inspected at Norowal Marina, 949 boats at Mossy Point Boat Launch, 437 at Dunham’s Bay Marina, 152 at the Hague Town Launch, 126 at Rogers Rock Campground Launch, 31 at Northwest Bay Cartop Launch, and 25 at Island View Marina. While some launches were much busier than others, the Lake Stewards spent different amounts of time at different launches, so the total number of boats inspected is not necessarily an accurate measure of overall launch activity. The Lake Stewards worked between Memorial Day in May and mid-August. A steward was at Norowal Marina for 48 days during the summer, 49 days at Mossy Point, 37 days at Dunham’s Bay, 9 days in Hague, 8 days at Rogers Rock, 2 days at Northwest Bay, and 5 days at Island View Marina. By calculating the average boats launched by day at each location, we can get a better idea of the traffic at the various launches (figure 2).
