Respectfully disagree that the southend of the lake is the best choice.
Very true that the northern end is more complex, but a map and mountain landmarks make it pretty easy to find your way. But my main reason is that the waters are much calmer there. The wind generally blows north or northwest straight down the lake causing pretty large swells for a first timer in a 19' boat.
If they happen to pick a windy day or run into an afternoon storm it might prove to be a little unnerving.
