Traffic Flow & Illustration of
Lake Carnegie
Follow the rules of the road on Lake
Carnegie—stay to the right. Imagine the lake as a highway, with an imaginary line
down the center. Do not cross into the oncoming lane under any circumstances. Also, stay
off of the imaginary "shoulder" on your right side, where it's very shallow.
Always go through the arch which is second
from the right as you face either bridge, in either direction.
Stay alert for the following hazards:
— Wakes: Alert your crew to stay relaxed
as they row through a wake. Tell them which side it's coming from.
— Debris: Steer around it. If you get close to a something floating in the water,
tell the rowers on that side to "watch your oars."
— Fishing boats: Don't expect them to move. We share the lake with others, so please
be considerate of them. But it is you who must get out of the way.
— Sailboats: They have the right of way. Avoid the far end of the lake when there are
sailboat races going on.
To help the coaches help us, wait for them
at an agreed upon place on the water. They will not be able to coach your crew if you take
off down the lake alone. Stay next to any other boats grouped with you under the same
coach.
To avoid collisions and confusion, remember
to communicate as often as necessary with the coach and other boats.
Never cut the comer at either of the two
major turns on the lake. Stay to the right at all times.
