If the State owns the water and is for all to enjoy equally, how do these no-rafting zones get so-designated? Seems like eventually, the entire shoreline can eventally end up being a no-rafting zone which wouldn't be fair to wanna-be rafters.

I am a shoreline property owner, but prior to owning have engaged in legal rafting, so I have mixed feelings on this issue. But, I have a nagging feeling that no-rafting zones are unfair and deprive many families from otherwise fun-filled water activities. It's unfortunate that irresponsible rafters have brought on this increase in no-rafting zones.
