This results in occasional names of bodies of water which may be misspelled, named with local slang, or unidentifiable. Figure 9: Name and frequency of previously visited waterbodies. 26 Lake George Watershed Lake Steward Program End of Season Report 2008
DRAFT Boats launching at Norowal Marina had visited approximately 97 different water bodies before entering Lake George. The highest frequency of previous water bodies was Lake George with 531. The highest frequency of non-Lake George water bodies visited was Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey, which contains several invasive species, many of which were found by Lake Stewards on vessels that were last in its waters. Information about previous water bodies entered is important because it can be used to determine where outreach efforts should be focused in the future. Several of the highest frequency water bodies (Saratoga Lake, Lake Hopatcong (NJ), and the Hudson River) (figure 10) contain invasive species that have not yet been introduced into Lake George.

The rest are from a variety of states. After New York State, the most common states were Massachusetts and New Jersey with 13 different waterbodies and Connecticut with 10. There were also bodies of water which cover more than one state, and the Lake Steward was unable to collect the state. The Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, the Susquehanna River, and the Ohio River were all also recorded as previous waterbodies visited.
