[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 86949, member: 256"] Let's not forget that there is a lot more to access than rec areas and boat ramps. The Corps has been taking access to the lake away for years by herding people into designated areas. Keep in mind that there is a lot more to the big lake than activities requiring a boat large and expensive enough to feel safe if/when the wind comes up. Those of us that grew up around tobacco garden for instance have seen the Corps clamp down with their fences and signs. Now I'm usually one of the first that says a person doesn't need to drive up to the shoreline but making people stop on an access road that in many cases can be hundreds of yards away is a bit much, it's not like there is a shortage of shoreline. Imagine telling an old timer he has to fish at the boat ramp because he can't drive down to the beach. Well that's the case now. Anyway if it isn't bad enough now I fear the unknown would be worse. Once this is turned over I get the feeling what little access there is away from the designated ramps might disappear altogether. [/QUOTE]
