Richard Sales loves boating at Highline Lake.
âThe facility is unbelievably valuable for the Western Slope, for Colorado,â he told Colorado Parks and Wildlife personnel in a Zoom meeting this week.
But as someone who likes to sail, he avoids sailing there on the weekend due to the number of powerboats throwing up waves that can make sailing tricky.
âI really would support a day that I knew I could go out and really enjoyâ sailing, he said.
A CPW proposal the agency is calling âWakeless Wednesdaysâ would give Sales and other boaters, such as kayakers, paddleboarders and anglers, just such a day. The agency is considering setting aside one day a week â Wednesdays â when boats wouldnât be allowed to create a wake, for the benefit of recreationists seeking opportunities to enjoy calmer waters at Highline.
