I guess I don't see how this speed limit has given us this "fair and equal access for canoes and kayaks" that you speak of.So I assume you think its now fine for canoes and kayaks to operate anywhere on the lake?
The debate and results don't look much different today than they did before this law was passed.I dont see how this speed limit gave fair and equal access.

The speed limit has held in check the number of power boats, and in particular the number of performance boats. Without a speed limit their numbers would have continued to increase.
Canoes and Kayaks can operate anywhere on the lake. They always have, and always will, have full reign on the lake.
Under certain weather conditions operating small boats on certain parts of the lake may be unwise. However I would remind you Whitewater Kayaking is an Olympic Sport.
However if you are implying that Kayaks should be restricted from certain areas because they might be run over by a powerboat.. Well that idea is absurd.
