I'm sure there are many who would enjoy boating on that lake, it's pretty....but with only one boat launch area, will it now start to resemble ....oh, never mind, I'm starting to sound like a preacher. Remember exceptions to the rules when your grandkids visit and they don't ask permission first.
Continue on, I just had to get that off my chest.
I agree with you. The advice to just do it, doesn't sit right with me either. What a mess we would have if everyone took this attitude about many other things that most know are not allowed.
I would start with the recreation department or try the Community Service Center 753-4508. Or if neither can answer your question Janet Tutt can be reached at janet.tutt@districtgov.org.
