What is reasonable about having no speed limit on a busy lake?
Why don't we just do away with highway speed limits as well? After all, auto accidents are not caused by excessive speed, but by inattentive, careless, or drunken drivers.
Powerboaters might still want to come to Winni, but the paddlers are leaving.
Personally, I feel like my freedom to use NH lakes is being tread on.

Evenstar... I think it is you that has the narrow view of boating. No one is hampering your paddling in any way, shape, or form. Do you think you could paddle across the Broads WITH the 45mph speed limit and do it safely? I think not. Paddle where it is safe. Don't paddle where you'll get killed. Just plain old common sense. Now... Highway speed limits....Have you ever seen those signs that read "No Bicycles, Horses,or Pedestrians" as you travel down an on ramp getting on the highway? Why do you think they limit the type of conveyance of travel on certain roads? I'll give you a hint....They can't safely keep up with the speed of the rest of the traffic. Do you see where I'm going with this? Reasonable,Safe,Prudent,all watch words. Just remember
Stupid Kills almost every time.

Wave "your paddle" 'cause I'll be waving back
