    	My parents have had a boat on Quinsig for about the last 25
    years. The lake if much cleaner than it was 5-10 years ago, basically
    it's o.k. to swim in but I wouldn't want to take too many mouth
    fulls. On a saturday or sunday peak hours the lake will be fairly
    crowded, it's never been too crowded for me to ski on but on a really
    nice weekend around 1:00 pm it can get hairy.  As for depth, no
    problem except for the rocks between the islands at the
    south end of the lake, these are marked by a pylon, never go between
    those two islands. Also there are portions between some of the other
    islands where you can sometimes stand (5-6'depth). Our boat is a
    straight inboard with a real deep draft and we've never had a problem.

|  |     Can't say I've been on the lake at peak hours, but I skied with
    some guys who live on the lake (George, are you listening?) and
    it's a nice lake to ski, especially at 5:30 AM!  Just watch out
    for the bird doodee floating near the bridges :-) ... and you gotta
    keep an eye out for the sail boat rentals near the Rt. 9 bridge.
    They have the right of way (according to the book) even though 90%
    of them don't know how to sail!
