Speaking of the 2 (beer and fishing/boating) what is the law on this? None aboard a powered vessel or just no alcohol for operator?

Anyone on board can partake ...even the boat operator ... But for some reason that you are boarded by TWRA and the operator is suspected of be under the influence ... They will either escort the boat or take the operator in to custody to the nearest dock or Marina ... When there you will be met by the local County's Sheriff Dept. ... and given a sobriety test .. If you are exceeding the legal Alcohol limit ... or on mind altering drugs ... You go straight to jail in Handcuffs ... And you don't pass GO! and you do not get your $$200 ... You are about to spend a lot more !!
Another thing that is different ... Anything that happens on the water is not combined with any DUI'S that you may have accumulated on the Road ... They are completely separate ... And treated separately ...
Be Safe ... <'TK><

It is one of the reddest areas in middle Tennessee. Everyone in that area votes Republican. Seriously, Forrest Hills, Belle Meade, Brentwood, Franklin. People even open carry there.

Yeah, I hear Radnor park is a great location to carry an AK pistol hanging from your chest for your afternoon walk........

The overall county, yes, but the idea of this lake being totally closed to fishing has "whiny, liberal tree hugger" written all over it.

The whole vibe at Radnor Lake is unbelievably uptight. There are so many rules, regulations, prohibited activities etc. (and park rangers eager to enforce them), it's hard to relax. It's as if the Gestapo had a private lake.
We have friends who are always inviting us to hang out there. I usually decline because the list of permitted activities is actually quite small. With all the planning involved it becomes premeditated fun, which is no fun.

I understand that. But, it is a very small lake. You'd be able to walk across it on boats and never touch water! And, there's nothing wrong with conservation. I certainly don't want rampant pollution poisoning my honey holes and defeating the whole purpose of enjoying the outdoors.  The thought of fishing there makes me drool. If I had the money, I'd pay the fine!

I do not support most tree huggers. However, Adough is 100% c orrect IMO.
The whole world is not a fishing hole and the fishermen will survive if they can't drop a line in every pool of water.
I can tolerate the tree huggers at Radnor much better than the polyester clad cyclists disrupting traffic.

Yea like no dogs allowed on hiking trails. What a bunch of crap. My wife and I wanted to go for a hike through the wooded trails with our golden/lab mix because she would love it but nope. Not allowed.

Speaking of little whiny liberal lakes, you can actually fish the main pond in Central Park in NYC (must use barbless hooks). I caught this largemouth many years ago, under the shadow of all those skyscrapers in midtown.
There's a smaller pond called, "Turtle Pond", on the other side of the park that's closed to fishing. I didn't know and once spent a whole afternoon catching smallmouth almost every cast. I was also brownbagging it and eating dirty water dogs. Ignorance is bliss.

The area may be "red", but go to a Friends of Radnor Lake meeting and see what kind of people are there. They are the richest liberals you'll ever meet in the south.

In their defense, we fishermen are known to leave trash in places that we are allowed to fish.
It would be an awesome kayak/canoe only lake but the libs don't wish any fish suffer a sore lip.
