ReplyDeleteWho are you? And how do you know this? This is not the info I received previously.
DeleteAlso land survey shows some forest service land around the lake. So would appear it's not all private. We do get people commenting about land being private many times only to find out it is not and is public. So further info from you would be helpful. As always, we tell our readers to obey all signs, such as no trespassing, no access, no hunting/fishing, etc. If one feels the signs posted are not legal, still obey the signs. Contact your local county official to locate info about the land, and if the signs are not legal request them to be removed. Public land is supported via taxpayers and should be open to the public unless any agency gives notice to the contrary. Even if a state or federal agency blocks access the public can challenge that via legal process.
