The bridge was there before the boat rental companies and excursion boats arrived on the scene. The boat company owners made a poor choice of locating their businesses with out doing their homework beforehand. 

 

I disagree.  Navigable waterways are federal property and there is a law to keep them open.  I.e. you can't string a fence or other barrier across them.  There was no problem before NS changed their operations, so that's clearly to blame.  The fix is obvious.  As for poor choice, you wouldn't want to place docks for small boats on unprotected lake shore.  When the boat company owners started their business this problem did not exist--NS created it.
