Wiawaka - Boating with Toby May 30, 2014




View of Lake George
Inside the lake 
The water and boat ride was so calm, I almost fell asleep. We were lucky to have such great weather right before the storm hit. You can really see the beauty of the lake once you are on a boat and cruising the water. Our tour guide was able to show us the green islands, the mountains, and the resorts. I would love to explore the small islands even though it is illegal to do so. I think it would be a great story to tell your grandchildren. It astonished me to find out that one man can own 16 miles of land on the mountains. Even though the family is slowly giving the land to the state, I think the majority of it should be allowed for public engagement. I don’t think it is right for people to be able to take away the beauty of things for other people. Seeing as Lake George is such a historical ground and a great sight, everyone should be able to enjoy it. I think it is great that students are allowed to stay in the summer and work right on the lake. It must be exciting for those students whose major fits the requirements, and they are able to do what they love. I think the best thing about Lake George is how clean it is. I could see right to the bottom of the lake and watch the fish and the rocks move about the currents. I don’t think I have ever seen a lake cleaner than that. It made me upset that I didn’t have the chance to swim the day before because the water was too cold. Lake George seems so far but it is really right in our back yard. So many events have taken place in this region. It’s fun for me to be able to know the answers to our guides question from reading The Hudson every week. I enjoy biology and wish I could stay at Lake George and collect specimens with the RPI students.
