Actually, my suggestion for filling in the Witches with rocks and sand to make a rafting location was kind'o "tongue-in-cheek" . Besides, once it was done, someone would turn it into "Witches Estates", build a few McMansions, and apply for a no-rafting area in order to boost the prices!

I do, however, strongly second the earlier posting(s) that the Navaids on Winni could use a good bit of improvement (read, bigger and more visible.) I think that the fact that the present ones just don't cut it in terms of visibility is borne out by the number of broken Navaids I see around the lake.

IMHO, the best way to navigate the lake is to have a GPS chartplotter (with the Bizer Chart, of course ) which is used to show one exactly where to look for the Navaid, but to rely on the Navaid itself to tell you exactly where the safe water is. And, of course, slow down (way down) if necessary until you actually see it!
