Double edge sward...
LI, you are right that this rule would encourage more traffic at Lil Bear, already a tight spot. Look what happened when they made Eagle I a NWZ. It encouraged people to take the "North passage" between Eagle and Stonedam. A very tricky piece of water to get through and if anyone else is there the 150 ft rule makes it a headway speed area.
Hazelnet, there is another angle to look at and that is $$$.
A neighbor once proplsed that Braun Bay be made a NWZ to end all of the crazyness. I explained to her that:
A: The NWZ would be in effect 24/7, 365 days a year. The problem only exists for about 100 hours a year.
B: If you make a NWZ in front of your house you can knock about $300,000 off of it's value. Most people want a place where they can ski and tube the kids without going to other areas of the Lake where it would be more inconvienent and probably more dangerous for the skiers/tubers.
Be careful of what you ask for. You just might get it.
