Salinity varies from place to place and with the currents. The highest salt content I've encountered was in Cancun. Blinding if you got that water in your eyes.What is "saltwater sting in eyes"?
do you live with an Indian tribe in the headwaters of the Amazon where leeches are an issue? don't mind freshwater mountain streams, springs that sort of thing but my preference is saltwater...not to offend those with socialistic tendencies here but my pool is specifically saltwater for the very reason don't wanna swim in chlorinated water, bad for the skin.Other than a pool, I'm never comfortable in freshwater.
Just seems strange.
I don't want it in my mouth or up my nose.
And the though of leeches are always in the back of my mind.
Can you relate?
Yeah, skip the town of "lake george village," further up the lake is quieter and prettier. the whole area surrounding the high peaks of ADK has some really amazing lakes with some wild lake/boat house setupsLake George in general. That whole region is some of the finest interior the north east US has to offer. The lake and surrounding hills are dreamy. People actually leave OTHER fancy beaches and regions to go to lake George. I used to go for a week every summer and I grew up in a beautiful bay and ocean surrounded paradise
Most of it still very rural- I’m sure there are wealthy hamlets and communities but most of it is still, if not untouched, not developed except in a handful of actual towns. I’d go back just to jump off the cliffs near “Silver Bay”’
christ I'd give her the most mediocre 4 minutes of her lifeHere ya go buddy:

You are terrorized by a potential case of diarrhea? WTF? Got anal sphincter control issues?Bro do you even giardia?
And they are freezing.Love it! I live on a lake that has close to 150 miles of shoreline, 40 miles long and 1150 feet deep in spots. So many epic nooks and crannies to explore..
we’ve also go a ton of amazing alpine lakes that are so clear the depth is an illusion.

Yeah I gotta say deep mountain lakes like Tahoe and Chelan are pretty great to swim in.The great lakes are some of the most perfect swimming conditions you could imagine.
Same goes for some mountain lakes and rivers![]()
Do a bunch of open water swimming, the ever increasing seal population is starting to worry me.I agree 100%
I grew up in a tidal salt pond in the northeast and in reality I know there is a lot more sh!t in the ocean that can hurt me. But I’m still way more comfortable swimming in saltwater than I am in most bodies of freshwater. I chalk it up to familiarity cause there is not a lot of logic to this reasoning.
Some of smaller less popular NE mountain lakes are pristine, cool clean water with great smallmouth fishing.Yeah I gotta say deep mountain lakes like Tahoe and Chelan are pretty great to swim in.
I'm scared of shark-type things, even in fresh water lakes....Other than a pool, I'm never comfortable in freshwater.
