If I recall correctly, some 5-6(?) years ago the Marine Patrol had their budget cut significantly, which resulted in reduced staffing including patrol officers. Since that time there has been a noticeably lighter presence. (We've been boating on the lake for about 12 years.)
Here's a
thread from 2013 that gets into some of the revenue source discussion. I don't know how things ended up.
