As a beach front land owner at the lake it is very distrubing to me to see the disrespect for keeping the beaches clean. We have particular problems with State Park patrons leaving garbage, dog poop behind as they use the beaches extending beyond the park boundries. There is also dangerous driving on the beach and much danger to children and animals which is further problematic due to the high weeds which can hide both. I expect someone will be seriously hurt or killed. We had an incident last year where a truck ran right over an ATV which was parked in the weeds and the truck never saw it. Thank God there was not a child around.
I am also concerned about regular use of illegal fireworks not only on the holidays but many times during the summer. There is little or no inforcement. I have called the police with little or no support so there is little if any enforcment and everyone knows they can do whatever they want with no downside. There is no enforcment for the garbage either. The beaches should be continually patrolled with enforcement of violators.
There is little effort that I notice on cutting down the weeds and controling them. With the low water levels this is a must.
