I agree with Woodsy that the area behind the footbridge is still good docking for small boats and ski craft. Hate to lose that space and subsequently lose space on the outside for other larger boats.
Rental SUP's around the Meredith docks scare me as they conflict with regular dock use and there is a greater likelihood of somebody losing their balance. In fairness, I haven't heard of a problem, but it still scares me when I go to Meredith. Paddle boats are pretty stable and visible, so that should not be a problem.
Will paddle boats head for the Naswa or the Ice cream place at the south end of the channel? That should be interesting entertainment when they try to return against the current or the prevailing NW wind, and navigate around the rental boat traffic in the area.
