My suggestion is that the town consider exploiting this relatively untapped resource by paying closer attention to the issues discussed on the attached sheet, especially to the suggestion for permanent fire pits. Feed-back on my ideas would be welcomed. Very truly yours, Michael Ernstoff Boating Safety - There are relatively few places on the lake where the wind is fine, and it is easy to launch a sail board, a.k.a. Windsurfer. The most popular spot is the beach behind auxiliary dam. Unfortunately, far too often there are conflicts between jet ski and windsurfers in the area immediately behind the dam.
Greater separation is needed.
On weekends, the shore patrol is often a welcomed sight. Glass bottles, rusty nails, fish hooks and hot coals from the previous night's bonfire are man-made hazards that good habits can minimize. Signs need to be posted to remind people not to bring glass bottles and nail contaminated firewood onto the beach. Permanent fire pits would help if placed where they would be used. Consideration needs to be given to prohibiting fishing from those sections of beach heavily used by sailors.
