Theres pros and cons to this new law,
Pro: yes it will open up some rivers
Con: Only rivers that can host a 6 foot raft or 6 foot log
Con: It interferes with the current lawsuits The Utah Rivers access coalition is currently fighting, as mentioned in the article
"Coburn said if Pitcher’s bill is passed and signed into law, his clients would dismiss their case, currently awaiting a judge’s ruling, and a related suit in Weber County."
So my question is for river such as the Weber & Provo
1. What are the conditions of being "able to float a 6 foot log"
Does it mean if it touches the bank at some point is that area block off ?
I mean as many rivers do some stretch's are wider deeper than others and for those narrow streches does that mean no access ?
For example on the Lower Weber the section off the Taggrart exit is pretty wide but if you travel toward croyden it gets narrow.
