There may be some of the McMansions that cut down many trees due to the size of their new home - they had to comply with the DES rules to do this.

As an owner of a 28' cruiser you should be aware that this type of boat throws a huge wake, long after you have passed. This is probably due to the design but this past weekend I did not witness many "cruiser/Carver" type boats on the lake - the few that did pass less than 600' from shore were long gone when the wake rolled in and hit our wall, bouncing over and causing erosion behind the wall. Normally the lake is about 4 - 5' from the wall. The only solution to minimize shorefront damage until the lake is at normal level is a NWZ on the entire lake for weekends. We have lived with this before and it should work again.
