There is, and has not in the past (to my knowledge) been a seaplane restriction on this body of water. Additionally, you are correct regarding the update date. I made the major update to include decisions that had been made in the past year on May 15 and failed to change the date when I made the correction for Pickerel Pond. I apologize for any confusion.

So, what must have happened
1) Posted by mistake
2) Someone saw it
3) I heard about it
4) I checked and found out it was true
5) Some controversy on these pages
6) I emailed Marine Patrol and was called back, confirming it was closed to seaplane landings
7) That must have led them to explore why it was posted (because I had asked when it was decided)
8) They realized it was posted in error and changed the website.
Full circle!

I think it is safe to say that in this instance, your questions and phone calls/emails were central to correcting this error. Great job!
