Rebuild and Restore Rush Island

Rebuild and Restore Rush Island The purpose of this page is to garner support for the rebuilding and restoration of Rush Island on Lake George, New York.

Rationale:
1) Navigational Safety - because Rush Island serves as a marker for those who enter Boon Bay. Also, there have been increased incidents of boats hitting the rocks that lie just off the bay.
2) Environmental Protection and Preservation - because the protection and preservation of Lake George begins one island at a time. To allow Rush Island's demise, would impact the beauty of Lake Georg

e and call into question many of the smaller islands on Lake George.
3) The Lake George Story - because those of us who grew up on Lake George, particularly Boon Bay, have a special connection to the Rush Island, One Tree Island, Two Tree Island, Lone Tree Island or simply Tree Island. It is part of the Lake George story, our story. Rush Island Plan:
1) Determine how much support is out there.
2) Use that support to persuade the government to act, as Rush Island is New York State land.
3) Other options to be decided, based on the government's response.
