User input for Goodyear Lake, Otsego County, New York:
Bert: On Monday Aug 17 the Otsego county sheriffs dept along with the Milford fire dept had a practice drill pulling bodies out of Goodyear Lake. Most of this boating season there has been NO weekend boat patrol. With no patrol it can get dangerous with out of control boaters some of them openly consuming alcohol while operating their boats. It seems like if they put more effort into controlling the boating law violators they might not have to pull a body out of the water. There are pics of this body pulling drill on the sheriffs web site. Use caution when boating this lake. The body they pull out might be yours !
VINCE S: We should be thankful for the sheriff we have. He must have a good reason for not patrolling the lake on weekends this season.
Vince S: We should be thankful for the sheriff we have. I'm sure he will do a better job next year 2010.
Joe Mumford: Warning !! The Otsego county sheriffs boat patrol on the lake is only 20 hrs a week. The rest of the time NYS boating violations are seen all over. North of the Portlandville bridge is not patroled at all because they installed a mast on the boat and now it can't fit under the bridge . Any emergency, complant or NYS boating violation will go unanswered by the boat patrol north of the bridge. Speeders and NYS boating violators north of the bridge don't care about you, your boat or your property ....Staffing and resources are used to SHOW the boat and equipment off at county fairs and lake events rather than being used to increse the boat patrol.
