You wouldn't have a 100 folks in your pool if it only held 30 would you? Sorry folks hate to rain on the parade and everyone's "freedom" but in order to protect the lake for the many and future generations (they have rights to it also) limits will need to be put in place. Its sad but we just won't do the right thing and protect it on our own.
Its coming. I will take all bets.... place your bets....... 5 years MAX.....

Based on what I've seen, the "crowds" on the lake are diminishing. I think there's fewer boats operating on the lake, on a typical day, than there were 5 years ago. There's always room to park at the ramp where I launch, and the only crowds I see on a regular basis are around Weirs Beach. Sounds like solution in search of a problem to me. Wanna see crowds, spend a weekend on the CT River sometime. It's vastly more crowded than Winni and nearly everybody still has a good time and remains friendly.
