.....with a 45mph limit on weekends? Do they strictly enforce that? Making the trip one of these days. Where's a good place to launch out of?

There is a public access launch area that is free to launch from, I can't remember the name, but it is on Rt. 590, near the RT. 6 intersection. Yes, I think they do enforce the speed limit on the weekends.

Hi cwhogan:

It's really not hard to find, if you are coming on Route 6 west into Hawley, when you get to Route 590 intersection, make a left turn onto Route 590, and go about 1/4 mile and make the 1st left you come to. It's right there.

Gps

So from your description I guess it is here (41.461669,-75.186203)
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=41.461669,-75.186203&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&z=16

All the way on the other side of the lake from my rental. Figures.

Are there many places to buy fuel on the lake, or do you have to trailer to a gas station?

Thanks

Yes! That looks like it. I really don't know where you can get gas on the lake yet, because I'm still looking to buy my first jet ski and get out there. But I know there are several gas stations right on Route 6 near that intersection.

Hey I took a closer look at your google map and it is a little off. You are marking the overlook spot, not the ramp. You have to keep going down 590 a little more till you get to the 1st left turn off 590.

[cwhogan]

It just has to be registered somewhere. Doesn't matter where.

You would only have to register it in PA if you were moving to PA.
