It is quite a way away from the ocean (37 miles by road) and there isn't a large river that goes right from it to the Atlantic. Plus it's a little hilly up there, I don't think the tides could rise high enough. It's fresh water.

why you still need to maintain your boat either way?

If the lake is tidal then it probably has salt water present.

It's a beautiful fresh water lake. One of my favorites for sure..

Thanks for the replies. I bought my boat from NH that has spent its life in that lake. Advertised as fresh water but I have come to realize that for the sake of sales, some consider "brackish" water as "fresh" water. Its now cooling its hull in Lake Ontario!
