I would go a step further and say that some reservoirs should be no towables period. I've noticed more and more wake boats each year, coming up to Strawberry because they've overrun Deer Creek and Jordanelle. I think the DWR needs to stop that in it's tracks.
It is 100% obvious the State does not care about safety of smaller craft, they are much, much too busy counting $20 bills from the gate.
I believe the only way this dangerous/environmental un-friendly situation will get attention is through a governmental agency like EPA.
Damage to shoreline plants/animals is happening. Not unlike Carp that stripped grasses from bottom of UL, these wakes are bigger and at different frequency than what Mother Nature hits shoreline vegetation with and destroying shoreline.
I’ve always said the only good thing a wake boat is good for is to wash some Crawdads out of the rocks and start a little feeding frenzy.
Look what wake boats wake damage to the ‘Toilet Bowl’ arch at Lake Powell last year! Wink.
