Hayden May Charge For Boat Launch

Item: Will they pay to play? Some users say fees no big deal, they pay them elsewhere/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: It might be the last summer of free boat launching at Hayden's Honeysuckle Beach. The city is looking at launching new fees there. Suzanne Cano, Hayden community services director, said Monday that the city is primarily aiming to offset maintenance costs. The boat launch and docks get a lot of use and wear.

Question: Would you be willing to pay to launch your boat on Hayden Lake -- or other North Idaho waters?
