It’s as normal as a beer at the football game. That ship has sailed.
Tell that to my son who developed psychosis from weed when he was a teen. Thankfully he is fine now but it shouldn’t be as normal as a beer.

I do see other families there, but we may go to a spot 3x a week and never see the same people. I have year round parking passes for nearby beaches/recreational areas so that gets us there more often.
I feel like it's such a parenting hack. Pack up a lunch, bring some chairs, sometimes bring our 5 person raft or paddle board, some tubes (we live in CA, though I did this as a kid in MN where lake life is big). Our spring break has been spent at a river 8 minutes from our home. I usually take a few puffs from my weed pen or drink a white claw when we get there to make it a little more fun (then by the time we leave several hours later it's worn off so no I'm not driving intoxicated).
I do have friends who like to go paddleboarding when my kids are away on the weekends, but none of my kids friends do this.

But we're in Potomac and always go on the Potomac to kayak. And we're pretty much screen free as the default
This. What is your plan if someone in your family has an emergency? This is incredibly stupid and you shouldn’t be giving parenting advice.

You couldn’t drive after one white claw? I’m not OP but this doesn’t seem crazy at all.

Sure we have the random lake areas that are within an hour and they get filled up immediately and stay packed all day. And that’s only when it’s actually the season for it.
This is the equivalent to posting “I don’t under stand why I don’t see more families ice fishing on the weekends, We live in Alaska and do this constantly! Parenting hack!”
