Really? Ragged Island is a jewel to be enjoyed by all Winnie boaters. The free access to this island and its beaches is something I wish was available when we had no lakefront property. Maintenance of this treasure has nothing to do with snowmobiling and as others have said, LRCT is overall a huge benefit to the overall preservation of the beauty and resources in this area. And yes, I am also a snowmobiler. So we shouldn't help preserve this beautiful resource just because one managed property added a restriction we don't like?

There are two side to every story and it is very sad that a FEW ruin it for everybody else. Having said that though, I was always unhappy with LRCT because they closed the snowmobile trails after the clubs and others donated money to them and they promised (at least to a president of the Wolfeboro club) that they wouldn't close the trails. I spoke to the president at the time and he said they assured him that they would not close the Castle trails. And then they announced that they would be closed-then they did open some of them. Acquiring property is a responsibility they take on. You know some are going to abuse it. I just think these groups need to be honest and then someone can decide if they want to donate or not. It is kind of like the lake, sure, there are lots who don't take care of it, but the state doesn't close it.
