I think the perception is one of worry, since so very few people on Winni overnight on boats. It's so common over here, that I try to plan to be out of the way soon enough on a Friday night that I don't get caught in the myriad of pocket cruiser wakes as they rush out for the weekend.

There are many "Special Designated Anchorage areas" as well. They are all on the chart from Canada all the way South. Obviously, Winni's problem since the heyday of the 70's building boom onward, is that there aren't that many areas left that are undeveloped.

Boaters in general have very little voice or advocates on Winni, which shows up in spades.

BTW, thanks to whomever showed the link to the Long Island campground, I somehow missed them in my searches for places to stay and boat.
