Good luck getting a parking spot or dock at the Penny. The Copper Penny is fun and they have really great food but their parking situation sucks.

Woody's will be a shit show of people getting wasted and Papa Boo's will charge you $4 a beer. If you are going to drink in your boat make sure you put it in a cup. I got busted for an open container last year with my beer in a koozie and the officer said I should of put it in a cup. That was a $110 fine and a trip to New Lex.

I live like 15 minutes from it. If you want to go there and want me to show up, show you around, hang out with you, slip you a date rape drug and bang you in the butt....just send me a PM.
i have boat and might end up at indian lake but i dont want the bang in the butt part but if you are around I might be having a get together at my families house on the lake. If you want to have a few drinks then send me a pm we can have a few

Pretty sure I am camping at Indian Lake that weekend. If you do come and watch fireworks on the lake......make sure you ahve a place to dock till that next day because it will be a bitch getting outta the lake and traveling to where ya need to be.

I can vouch for seneca lake. Used to go their all the time growing up.. Have some good memories there. Fireworks show is pretty good imo. It doesnt compare to red white and boom though.

And if you go there, you might meet up with brian hartline. He has a lake house there and visits pretty frequently, especially on the holidays

Senaca Lake is nice, but I like Salt Fork better for bigger boats.

Was it the date rape drug comment or the bang you in the butt comment that turned you off to Indian Lake?

ah that's cool.

We couldn't get a campsite at Seneca Lake Park, so we are staying in a state park south of there. Seneca Lake told us "sorry, we are full up that weekend, but if you come get a spot on monday the 27th and pay for it through the week, we can guarantee you a spot for the weekend"

Fucking scam

what park? you probably checked the marina. There are a couple of other little campgrounds around the lake and and kind of big camp ground called seneca lake resort probably 5 miles from the Marina, check them out if you dont mind having to drive to the lake...

We got a site at Wolf Run State Park like 15 miles away. It's no biggie. $20 for the campsite and rangers to make sure no one steals our site before we get there. Everyone has told me that we are gonna love Seneca Lake. We are gonna get there early and anchor out, put the bimini top up and throw some fishing lines out. Can't.fucking.wait.

It only makes it hard if you get a good fish on and your chasing him around the boat, that's when the bimini gets in the way. Have fun and enjoy your weekend, the bimini should be the least of your worries.
