Boat size restriction would be nice, don’t need a bunch of yahoo’s in 20’ ski boats beating the heck out of the lake.
Won’t ever happen though.
It’s obvious the state doesn’t care.

I agree with a boat size restriction. I troll with my 16 foot boat but I also don't want to see 28 footers out there with planer boards out 150' on each side. You have to use some common sense in regards to the size of the water body. I'm happy to share the water with all but people need to use their heads a bit. The problem with Waterbury is it's right off the interstate. You don't see as much foolishness on more remote bodies of water.

You can thank the Eisenhowers for that.  Just like technology and the internet it is a double edged sword.  All the more reason to put in the time and find a honey hole of your own.  Feels better when you did the homework and put a meal on the table or a smile on your or a kid's face.

No St. Catherine.  Just a shot of my kid with a smile.  :)  I went to Paul Smith's 95-97.  Great area.  I went to school there during the fires.
