Bob, I’ve told you a million times not to axaggerate!
**We just returned from Willard Bay. We went in at the south marina, the state employee did a complete Invasive species question routine, checked my AIS annual certificate, checked my annual state park pass, asked what body of water the boat had been in last (Bear River), and my Zip code.
The big lighted sign that was down near the first entry gate has been removed. The sign just in the front of the pay shack that said “Box Elder County residents only” was still there, but the very nice, very professional lady said that her boss had just 5 minutes earlier called her and told her the park is now open to ALL users. She said she knew what the Gov had said last night, but had to wait for the “official chain of command trickle down” from her boss before she could pull the sign, and she just had not had the chance yet. We were the second rig thru the gate at that time with several behind us, and she was doing her best to get people checked in first, then would remove the sign.
So we were on the water about 9:30. And the wife ended up out fishin me by 1 nice Cat. :)
I was skunked…

Do your home work. While many bodies of water have a camping area and boat launch that are state owned, the rest of the lake can be owned by many different interests public and private.
Many have back roads where the state has no say so. ONX maps is a great tool to use for this kind of thing.
Don’t let anybody buffalo you, but be respectful while you stand your ground,and be safe.
