To Japek's question .. if you like paddle boarding or kayaking then Paugus Bay (especially Fridays thru Sunday) although having an abundance of Real Estate available is not the best selection of areas. As others have said, the North end of the Lake however is much more suited to that lifestyle. Which is the diverse charm of this Lake.

Regarding Marine Patrol.... in my 30+ years boating here (+100hrs/yr.), I honestly thought, and actually made comment a couple of times this past season that there were very few patrol boats out and about compared to years past. This, in my mind, I attributed to general funding cut backs.

There was many a weekend that we would cruise for the entire day, or hold up at our favorite Sand Bar and RARELY see MP. I acknowledge exceptions to this as I am aware that both Braun Bay & Smith Cove area saw more than their fair share of patrol boats ........ but I am speaking of truly "Patrolling" the Lake ....... gone this year was the fixture patrol boat that hovered outside the Weirs channel every weekend as well as the one who habitually lurked behind Eagle Isl.

Just one boaters observation !

I would think that Smith Cove would see lots of patrol boats since MP HQ is there!
LOL sorry couldn't resist
