I don’t know if the newsflash will receive this email, but as someone from Belmont who has enjoyed canoeing and kayaking on Ninevah since the 1950s and has enjoyed association with Farm and Wilderness camps since the 1960s I must point out that there are numerous inaccuracies in this letter.
Here are just a few: Ninevah has always been open for canoeing that does not include fishing. I haven’t been there this year but for many years there has been a sanitary bathroom facility at the boat launch. I was a Farm and Wilderness counselor in the 1960s and most people at the camp where I worked (including myself!) did not practice nudism. It was totally optional. The camps have become expensive, but this is partly to support generous camperships for those who can not afford the full fee.
Ninevah is a natural gem that could have gone the way of our polluted weed ridden Star Lake. Farm and Wilderness has exposed many children from cities and suburbs to this wonderful state and motivated them to protect our environment. It is fine to question the regulations, but please stick to the facts when discussing how the place should be used and protected.
