Johnson's cove has been a popular destination for a long time. In fact, the Winter Harbor Yacht Club on Welch Island was started by families that used to raft and spend their day in that exact area, then got together and bought the property on Welch. It is unfortunate to hear stories like GTO's of people not respecting the lake (seems to be a recurring theme the past few years), which can only lead to more and more restrictions on those who do respect the area. As has been said in the past at other areas that have a lot of anchoring activity, if you see others disrespecting the resources, please say something. Never underestimate the power of embarrassment!
