A few years ago, a neighborhood near us quietly tried to have their "cove" designated as a no-jetski zone. At the meeting, there were several who provided comments against it, and only the group's lawyer was for it. Their proposal was turned down. Fighting against a water rights grab can work.

Adding more no-rafting zones concentrates the crowd into other areas, which forces the residents there to want more no-rafting zones. With the price of gas, rafting is the environmental friendly thing to do. There needs to be more, not fewer places to raft. Trash and mal-behavior occurs no matter if the boats are rafting or just there by themselves. I don't see that as a reasonable reason to close down public property.

If you care about using the cove, list your reasons here in the forum why the no-rafting proposal should be turned down. Then, plan to go to the meeting. The people own the lake, but if the people don't show up, those with special interests may win.
