Overnight on the Lake

I have always assumed the law against overnight anchoring was created on behalf of some waterfront property owners, but perhaps it's marina owners who asked for the law. They had more to lose with the advent of affordable trailerable pocket cruisers. Prior to the existance of the law in 1967, there were plenty of cabin cruisers on the lake, but the vast majority were too big to trailer routinely and were wet-slipped. Just a thought...
