I paddled an area that I hadnt been to in years. Its near St. Cloud, MN. It was kinda like a mini-BWCA. A chain of lakes area. But now, the entire region is all houses. The DNR landing is basically the only spot there isnt a house.
A DNR official was telling me I shouldnt wash my canoe with soap because the residue could get into lake water. They're worried about biodegradable soap? Yet all these lake homes built where woods & wet lands once were. And these owners spray their yard with weed killer and fertilizer. Do they care that this junk washes right into the lake?
Pretty sad I think when you always hear about Save The Wetlands and then they let developers build on every square foot around a lake.
