Lake Montauk

• Location: Long Island Sound
• Lat / Lon: N 41° 04.110' / W 071° 55.330'
• Depth: 7-8 ft
• Description:

  In the main channel east of Star Island buoys must be followed carefully to clear the shoal (2- to 6-foot MLW depths) extending southwest from the eastern shore. After the last marina pier and pile you must turn sharply to starboard to be sure not to miss the channel. Missing the green buoy may result in a tow off the shoal. The channel to the southeast part of the lake is clearly outlined with town markers. The channel moves to red 14 and green 13 mid-lake before you turn southeast.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
