A White Cone Shaped Buoy has been placed on West Caroga Lake midway across and approximately 2 -300 yards off the North Shore.  The BUOY is collecting data for a program to perform a Survey of Climate and Adirondack Lakes Ecosystems (SCALE) thru  November of 2026.  The work is being led by Ausable Freshwater Center.

Seeing this BUOY will be a surprise to those who are frequent users of the lake as there has never been one in this location and could easily be run over damaging very valuable and expensive equipment  attached beneath the surface of the lake.

PLEASE Do Not MOVE or TAMPER with the BUOY.  Permission has been given to obtain a light for night visibility.

Should you hit the BUOY or have questions, please reach out to Walter Hogan  196 E. Shore Road West Caroga Lake 607 544 4037 email wjhogan@outlook.com
