I believe one of the "deals" WDFW made to get the launch was that the county would be enforcing a 5mph speed limit on the lake............

I don't have positive confirmation on that issue, but can recall it from a discussion on the subject 4 or 5 years ago... (my first forum discussions on the kapowsin launch go back to 1999.. so this topic has been flopping around for a long, long time)...

initially I was totally opposed to the ramp but I have gradually and reluctantly modified my views..... the 5 mph speed limit was a major factor in this change............
