Does it matter? What difference does it make if boats are within 200 feet of the dam?

I guess the park police and conservation officers have better things to do than shoo boats away from the dam.

On the other hand, water companies that hire security guards to watch the reservoir exert a tremendous effort to keep anglers away from the dam. Those men and women patrol the perimeters of the lake in their SUVs like they're guarding Fort Knox. When they see a shore anglers out-of-bounds or a boat within 200 feet of the dam, they jump out of their SUVs and castigate the offender with all the fervor of Superman saving the Earth from Lex Luthor. Stopping that kayaker from going within 200 feet of a pile of rocks is the greatest achievement of their life and irrefutable proof that they are truly successful and live with a purpose on this planet!
