My point exactly Hound. The land across the lake from Wicker Point is already set aside for such projects. A small/medium sized water park with a hotel and campground attached would bring instant returns and probably run at capacity the entire season. I know a lot of folks will scream out loud at such an idea but all Ive to to say to them is suck it up buttercup. Everything from DARE Park to Smith Mountain coud be included. The lake belongs to the citizens of ALabama and focus should be on how we can open access to the most folks, not the millionaire class.
You have a voice with your column in the Outlook why not take up the charge and try to get folks at least thinking in a productive way. The lake must have more recreational opportunities to draw the masses. I know some are freaking out thinking I'm not a millionaire and I don't want the masses here, get over yourself. The area I am talking about is at the mouth of Manoy Creek, I live in Manoy.
