Lake Gregory has special spot for hobbyists and electric boats

San Bernardino County Regional Parks has teamed with the Lake Gregory Yacht Club in announcing the creation of a dedicated area on Lake Gregory for slow-speed electric boats and remote control sailboats.

"Adding this capability to Lake Gregory increases the opportunities for broadband public use by adults and children," said Tom Potter, county regional parks director. "There is a large contingent of RC boaters throughout Southern California. We believe the addition of a dedicated area for this activity at Lake Gregory, along with the publicity and coordination by the Lake Gregory Yacht Club, should bring interested visitors to our mountain lake and increased commerce in Crestline."

Dave Mindel, commodore of the Lake Gregory Yacht Club, said the club is looking forward to working with Lake Gregory Park Superintendent Bart Ryder and his staff to provide the optimum location for RC boating.
