THE LAKE GEORGE PARK COMMISSION... A MEANS WHEREBY PEOPLE MAY PRESERVE, PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE UNIQUE NATURAL AND SCENIC RESOURCES OF THE LAKE AND ITS SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE.
The
Lake George Park Commission is established to oversee and manage the unique resources
of the “Lake George Park” especially the lake’s superior water
quality. To do so, the Commission is conveyed special authority and responsibility
by New York State. The Commission’s programs fill critical gaps to ensure
the lake’s protection and encourage cooperation among the many public and
private entities whose common goal is the lake’s preservation.
Lake
Level Overview
The Commission oversees the lake’s water level by tracking
the lake’s surface elevation and insuring that discharges occur in conformance
with the “rule curve.” The rule curve sets a target lake level for each
day of the year. The targets are based on state law and on historic operating
guidelines designed to maintain the lake at optimum levels for navigation and
recreation.
The Rogers Rock Gage is a continuous monitoring device operated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The Commission records and reports the level each business day about 9:00 am. This becomes the daily lake level used and reported by the Commission. 316.06' is 0 datum on the RRG
The
lake’s target elevation for summertime is 3.5' on the Rogers Rock Gage (RRG).
This converts to an elevation of 319.56' MSL (mean sea level). A daily lake level
reading higher than the rule curve means that water is discharged from the lake.
A lake level lower than the target level requires that the discharge gates are
closed.

The Lake George Watershed Coalition
Lake George - Planning for the Future involves completion of a long-term strategy for protecting and improving the water quality and natural resources of Lake George.
Every year, the LGWC Annual Forum is held to provide all who live, work, recreate, and/or has an interest in the Lake George Watershed, and opportunity to learn about and discuss issues that face Lake George, as well as how to become better stewards of the lake. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the coordinated efforts of the LGWC member organizations to protect and preserve the lake's water quality and surrounding natural resources. In particular the focus topic of this year's Forum will focus on the critical nature of uplands water courses and how their protection directly impacts the water quality of the lake proper. As the LGPC is considering the adoption of stream corridor management regulations, it is critical that all constituents recognize the importance of protecting and preserving stream buffers and riparian water courses that feed into the lake.
