Quiet Waters Group to Enhance Adirondack Experience

LAKE GEORGE – The formation of a Quiet Waters Working Group offers an excellent opportunity to expand one of the Adirondack Park's greatest attractions, the St. Regis Canoe Area. Last month, the NYSDEC commissioner Pete Grannis and APA chairman Curt Stiles announced the formation of an interagency "Quiet Waters Working Group for the Adirondack Park." The Working Group will evaluate lakes, ponds and rivers in the park for potential designation as "quiet water," meaning that motorized craft would be prohibited. Motorboats have been allowed for decades on larger Adirondack lakes, but there should be more places in the Adirondacks where people can canoe and kayak. Visit adk.org for more information.
