Yes i do, I used to work for BLM in Pocatello and it was an issue that was discussed many many times. I wouldnt park there as it will end up in a ticket but could end up pushing the issue also. It is under an agreement with fish and game for "sportsmans" access, but under the regulations of BLM as i recall, it was/is legal to allow them to let the canal company to charge for that access. It really might be something for a whole group to talk with fish and game and blm about. I never agreed with it when i worked there and still dont. the land does touch the water when it is at full level and down some, how much I dont know for sure but there is a 40 acre parcel that is there and goes up the hill from the water. where the old fence is at is about the boundry but i dont know exactly how it lays but its a corner of the parcel that comes down to the water.
I dont know if anything really can be done if you park there or not or if u go out on the water from that point. I dont know what or how the courts, sheriff, etc will look at it but believe me I have thought of the same thing and wondered how long it would take some one to figure that out. I didnt want to get everyone in an uproar over it but, it is an issue that really should be addressed.
Groups are listened to much better by agencies than individuals not to say that individuals cant do anything about issues but, for some reason all governement agencies listen much closer to groups.
Send me a private message and ill tell you who to contact in the BLM office in pocatello to start with and he can get you in the direction.
Sorry for so long of post but needed to get this information out there. Hope this helps.
