Property owners are just going to have to do the kind of things to their shorelines that will protect them. The photo shows a rock wall on part of it, but not the other. In the fifties the answer was to
stack up car bodies on the waterline.
Another difference is that recreational boating, which used to include water skiing, is now mostly
wakeboarding, the boats are built to put out the most outrageous giant wake possible. Not cool
around other boats and docks and homes, but what are you gonna do, outlaw it? Canadians who
can afford it, buy the lake homes to come to for fun. Not to sit and listen to the ducks quacking.
Things aren’t the same as the seventies. Or the fifties. Come up with a way to protect your
property and learn to enjoy the frat house environment or sell it to a Canadian. You got pushed out.

You people with short memories or no memories:Noisy Creek was buried and diverted in the late 70s and most of its water went to Echo.
No one has ever addressed this because it was done when no one cared, no one watched and no one
knew who did it. It only floods when the snowpack is heavy and Hungry Horse Reservoir is high.

There are Lakeshore Protection Regulations throughout the state that prevent alteration of the lakeshore, including riprap, controlling weeds and anything that is built on the shoreline. Property
owners and residents get to pay the price, while obnoxious jerks destroy everything for everybody
else.
By the way, what is it about Canadians that leads to this kind of bullying arrogance? I used to
think Canadians were good guys. Lately I’m not so sure.
