Re: Creating your own swimming areas...
Pretty much the same thing all over the state this time of the year.
The STATE PARKS pack up really quickly & are usually @ capacity by 10:30.
Was @ YANDA early SATURDAY am & got off the water by 10:30.
The park was closed as I rolled out, a huge line waiting to get in & people walking into the park after parking along GWL TP illegally. The look of desperation was on the people's faces & I felt bad for them. A lot of the people were probably heading next to CLINTON road to try & find a place to cool off. I am sure that the WATERSHED rangers were waiting for them to write some hefty tickets.
MONKSVILLE was an absolute ORGY OF PEOPLE SWIMMING BY THE LAUNCH RAMPS, WALLOWING IN THE WATER & FLOATING IN THEIR DICK'S YAKS. So many kayaks, inflatables it was staggering.
Not much better SUNDAY night either, hoards still wallowing on the ramps @ 7:30....we need the PARK RANGERS to get there ticket books & start writing.
They have no problem hassling boaters preparing to launch but do not seem so ready to confront the masses of rule breakers...guess it easier to go for the low hanging fruit that has a low probability of confrontation.
