Background reading: Lake George on Wikipedia
Set in Warren County, New York, Lake George is a 28,170-acre natural lake. The surface sits about 318 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 197 ft down.
We read the level from USGS gauge 04278000, listed as Lake George at Rogers Rock NY. Wind and weather come from the National Weather Service grid cell over the lake, so the numbers describe open water rather than the nearest airport.
On a lake this size the wind has miles of open water to work with, so a 15 kt breeze can stack up a steep chop in the main basin while sheltered coves stay flat.
The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
