Rumour has it that there may be some wildlife sensative issues along the Red Deer River west of Penhold. If so; could this mean that the river boating and boat launching be shut down at the Penhold launch? [/b]

From what I have seen in the short time I have been on the Red Deer, if anything, nothing should change for the sport boaters/leisure, the majority from what we have witnessed takes thier garbage etc back to the dock with them. We have picked up around 80-100 cans/bottles etc along with other interesting garbage left for disposal floating in the water and on the shore by the long weekend tubers.
I hate to be this broad with the people tubing and I am sure some of them take thier garbage with them but on the whole I believe a very small percentage of them have a extra float designated to thier all day drink and food containers.
If they are shutting down any area/s due to enviromental/wildlife issues it should be the "right groups for the right reasons". I am sure we are not the only ones who have witnessed this or cleaned up after them....... I hope it is just a rumor. Evil or Very Mad

Any changes on the allowed use of the river need to be published for all to see. Brian, you are right about the floaters. They create more litter in that river than most people could believe. It is discusting and it gets worse each year. I don't know who raises these kids but they have no respect. I have had several clashes with these little knob lickers. The jet boaters are easy targets for the greenies and fishing people to complain about. Fishermen are not the best stewerds of the river. There are plenty of times that we end up picking up their garbage also. They do not have more rights that we do, but sure think they do.
Happy boating this coming up season. Very Happy

Don't liter on the river with this dude out there Twisted Evil
