Sorry, I disagree. Anyone who uses the lake has an equal voice and equal rights to use the lake. They also are under the protection of the dept. of safety. By paying a useage fee it only seems fair. It takes just as much energy, time, and resources to save a kayaker in the middle of the lake as it does a powerboater. One could argue that the powerboater may even be more prepared due to the amount of safety gear required to be on board.
