Fair point--but one other difference from the 60s is that skyrocketing waterfront values make it more difficult for most families who aren't local to enjoy the lake. Belknap is making it possible for hundreds of kids each Summer to have the kind of access that is otherwise only available to those lucky enough to have waterfront homes.
