The water is fine
Our editorial today encourages the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority to consider opening Randleman Lake for boating and fishing next month, at least north of N.C. 62, instead of waiting until March 2010.
Guilford County plans to open Southwest Park, along the upper portion of the lake, early in June. It provides the only legal boat access to the lake in Guilford County.
Motorized boating will not be allowed north of 62. The park will offer launching facilities for kayaks, canoes and rowboats.
It's all ready to go, county parks planner Roger Bardsley says. The fish are ready, too.
Reasons for delay don't hold water. This is a prime new recreational asset that the public already has waited for too long. Open it up.
