Thanks to fellow BFT members posting of the Supreme Court decision, I headed to a private section of the Provo on Saturday and had a rather unpleasant confrontation.
This raised a question that I hope someone out there has a good answer for. My understanding is that any public highway that crosses a stream is a public access point for the river (assuming of course that there is a place to park). I believe there is a public easement that extends several feet on either side of the road. Does anyone have any answers on this? I am excited by the new opportunities created by the court decision, but still want to be respectful of private property. Thanks.
