Is there less boating than Pre Covid?

Went out last weekend to my local lake that I usually avoid due to it being small and ramps/parking is limited. We got there later than we normally would, around 10am, and expected it to be lined to the road already. There was one person in the prep lane, and it was a dude that lives in my neighborhood, and lot was maybe 1/4 full. Still had spots open in the first lane, which I promptly snagged. When we left at 3ish we were one of the only ones getting out and probably about 10-15 spots still open. We also never stay in the main lake due to it being packed, but wanted deep water since it was so dang hot. Had no problem just floating around, tubing, and surfing right in the main lake.
 
What lake do you boat at, we never have that party here in Central Ohio. We just have the weird old guy sun bathers in their thongs on the edge of the boating beach.
I was at Saguaro lake in AZ.

That’s a very rare sight in public here. It looked like some off duty entertainers. They were not shy with anyone going by.
