It is the only public launch on Opechee.
If it were restricted to the public, F&G would need to develop another one... as they are required to. But the City of Laconia is less likely to restrict or charge for the launch as long as the maintenance costs remain low.
Also, it doesn't take money... it takes vision.
The Inn already adds the ambiance... if it promoted paddling or sailing... the bay as sheltered as it is from development would just be an extension.
Even at 35 mph, a ski boat would cross the lake and return in maybe six or seven minutes depending on the route. It isn't like Winnipesaukee with the multiple municipalities and heavy commercial development.
So the ''happening'' would need to be much different.
