Boat Sinks at Round Lake; Two Adults and One Child Aboard Safely Returned to Shore

SARATOGA COUNTY — Three people aboard a sinking vessel safely reached shore after an incident on Round Lake Tuesday morning, Aug. 8. 

“At approximately 9:42 a.m., members of the Sheriff’s Office responded to Round Lake for a report of boaters in distress. Upon patrol’s arrival the vessel was submerged, and the occupants were being assisted by kayakers,” according to a statement released by the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office. 

The two adults and one child were all wearing life jackets and were returned to shore by the members of the Round Lake Fire Department. 

The preliminary investigation by the Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol indicates that the damage to the hull was accidental and resulted in the vessel filling with water. The damaged vessel was towed to shore by the Round Lake Fire Department.

In addition to the Round Lake Fire Department, the Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the New York State Police, Arvin Hart Fire Department, Ballston Lake Fire Department, Malta Ridge Fire Department and Malta-Stillwater EMS
