Mee n Mac
Rafting friendly means rafting would be allowed all over the lake, no restricted areas so it would not be concentrated in a few areas. However, a restriction of say 5 boats would be allowed. As far as how this will help with the problems that some have complained about, it will spread boaters who raft around so there is not so much congestion in a few areas. As far as other problems like noise, litter etc. First, I do not believe these problems exist especially to the extent that some claim. I believe its very over exaggerated because they don't like rafting & are looking for any excuse to ban or at least control it. Secondly, if there are people who are noisy, litter or commit any of the other things rafting ban supporters claim, banning rafting will not stop it. Boaters anchored separately will commit these same offences. Thats another reason why I think the supporters of the ban just don't like rafting, they are justing using these alleged problems to support their cause.
