MAKE RANDALL POINT A NO BOAT ZONE!
The time has come to make Randall Point on Walloon Lake a no boat/swim zone. As you can see from the photo attached 65+ boats are on the point at any given time. The disruption to the peace and tranquility of the lake is immense. The environmental impact of having 65+ boats and hundreds of people trampling the bottom is immeasurable. The homeowners on the point are harassed everyday by boaters. The boaters curse at the homeowners, they come onto shore to relieve themselves, their animals run freely on the private property, underage drinking is rampant, & loud music is the norm.
It is time to demand that Emmett County and Charlevoix Country make the point and surrounding area a no swim zone.

I was having dinner on the point a couple of weeks ago and boats were parked so close they could see in the bedroom window. It’s time people have consideration for the owners and renters. No property owners would want to have masses of boats parked in front of their house with loud music and the intrusion of privacy.
As previously stated: no real property owner/renter would put up with a gathering of noisy, rude, and boozy motorists parked in front of their residence, so why should boaters be allowed to get away with equivalent unacceptable, anti-social behavior on Walloon Lake?
I am the great grandson of W.D. Randall and have been going to Air Castle/Randall Point every summer since I was 5yrs old and seeing al these people anchored on our point is very disrespectful as it is our family's property and an invasion of privacy. I would feel great if the sheriff would do something to resolve this situation
This is a curse on this beautiful lake... The environmental impact and the disruption to the peace and tranquility of the lake is immeasurable. My family has had a house on this lake since 1967, and we think that keeping this lake family oriented and peaceful and tranquil should be a priority.
The boating traffic on Randall’s Point has become intrusive to private property owners and is having a detrimental environmental effect on the sand bar by disrupting the bottom due to boat traffic and trampling. The state (DNR) and local officials need to start enforcing 1) a no boat policy on the bar, and 2) absolutely no trespassing off boats onto the bar and onto land.
This point has so much historical and family meaning to me and my family. Please make it a no boating zone!
I have been so disheartened this summer by the many boats "sharing" their loud music with residents and visitors who only want to enjoy the peace and beauty of the lake. Their "right" to having a good time does not extend to ruining it for everyone else!

The numbers keep growing with no end in sight. Imagine 65 cars of partying visitors in front of your house everyday. It wouldn't be tolerated on land, why on water?
