We have found a favorite place to wakeboard, tube, swim, and just chillax. It is in a quiet cove that is not yet inhabited, but there are "for sale" signs along the waters edge. This spot is frequented by several families (we haven't actually met any of them, but see them every weekend). There are a couple of groups who meet weekly, but otherwise everyone seems to be on their own. It is such a great spot. I have seen on my Bizer map that there are certain areas where rafting is allowed and so far, this cove is not mentioned as a no-rafting zone. Can anyone tell me if there is there a way to have this spot declared "okay" for rafting and/or an achoring alone location before it becomes off limits?

It sounds like the cove near my place and I can see this area becoming a no rafting zone in the near future. The land surrounding the cove is owned and people from the boats that come to raft here are continually abusing it. There are paths through the woods where I walk my dog and have seen, especially this year, beer cans littered, human waste and toilet paper, and of course my favorite, the tampon in the plastic bag. Aaahhhh, but let me take you for a virtual swim in the cove. Mmmm, surprise...more beer cans, red plastic cups and a pile of chicken bones. I can just picture the fat capt licking the meat from the bone and then discarding the bones overboard. And then this past weekend, when one of the big cruisers (I think it was an Imperial) left, he decided it was a good place to pump out his septic. We smelled it from the dock and when our friends came in from skiing, they smelled and thought the same thing. Unfortuneately, we couldn't get the numbers.
So, if someday soon this does become a NRZ, blame the few ignorant people out there.
