Labor Day Weekend is near the end of the boating season and likely to have many boats on the Lake, including a handful of the usual "crazies" who can't seem to understand how to boat properly. Be aware !!, use courtesy at all times.

You will get a lot of good advice on this Forum from some very experienced boaters, and you will notice all of them will suggest a Lake chart - very important. The Bizer chart (available through this site) works very hard at being accurate, even when some of the passages look rather tight. When in doubt, go slow. If you are going to have an accident (and I certainly hope you don't), have it at the slowest speed possible. If you stay in the 'main stream' you will be fine. Enjoy the Lake, it is beautiful.
