Certainly a good idea to have on a recreational boat, but not mandatory.

I'm not sure about the rules on the Lake but years ago I got burned on a Coast Guard Auxiliary safety inspection at the ramp on the Charles River in Boston for not having "Alternate Propulsion" on board. At first I didn't know what he meant until it was explained that it meant a paddle.
I would be surprising if alternate propulsion was not required on most power boats on the lake.
