Yep there is a 40 ac parcel of BLM but, its under admin by F&G and some how or other Twin Lakes Canal company has control of it, i dont know how, I kept asking this when i worked and couldnt get a real answer to it. Dont try it, you will get ticketed ive asked if it can be done and I was told no. I dont have an answer to it and no one seems to be able to tell me how. My thought is the same, if it is public land and F&G has a land use permit for "Sportsmans Access" how can canal company charge for it. Its free to F&G and as I understood it, to be free for access just like other F&G access points. When the water is full, from the best gps I could find and all the land status maps etc, the BLM parcel does go into the water. But, remember, you cant get on the water because it is private and as also said, the damns were built with private money for irrigation, not hydro and yes the land around is private except for that 40 acre parcel. If some one else out there can get it shaken up and something done, go for it. Out of the 40 acres probably only a couple are actually useable because it goes up the hill and I wouldnt want it used just because of potential hill errosion and water contamination, but there definatley is some that could be used for camping and shouldnt be charged for or have any control by Canal company.
