Did you notice see any path going to the water at the pond near Eastport?
I have seen this and it's an interesting addition (not installed yet). There is a similar one at "The Boathouse" in Middleton that will be used for canoes and kayaks, but that lake/pond is much larger - a mile long. You may be right about the RC boats, but that's a very small body of water it will be on.
