Lakeside homeowners, sculling camp clash over waterway use

CRAFTSBURY, Vt. (AP) Rowing is thought of as a relatively quiet, benign sport. But some owners of lakeside vacation homes in Vermont say too much of it by a renowned sculling camp is preventing them from enjoying the waterway they share.

The Craftsbury Outdoor Center has operated a rowing camp on Great Hosmer Pond since the 1970s. The center also trains athletes seeking to make the national team or the Olympics and has added a community rowing program.

But second homeowners nearby say the business is monopolizing the public body of water, preventing them from fully enjoying the lake.
