I took my daughters over to Fish Lake last weekend for a camping/fishing trip. I've camped and fished this area for 20 years. Last summer the Forrest Service decided to gate and close off the North side of the lake and close down the FS Rd. I drove up to the gate on Friday and read the notice they had posted. It said that the Cascade Hide Away resort didn't want the public to go through their property and that the FS did not have a easement. Also, the garbage and road being so close to the shoreline was not in the enviromental right for roads. Also the road did not have a adequet turnaround at the gated side by the resort. After reading this I said this is a bunch of crap. For one thing, when does the Forrest Service give up their easement rights to a road?......This road is on the maps and goes through the resort and has for many years. Has anyone seen the government give up their easement rights? If they did then someone should get their ass kicked out of the FS. The part about a turnaround is bunk too. It would take me 30 mins with a dozer to make a adequet turnaround at the end of the road. The part about the road being too close to the shoreline is crap too. I can give you dozens of roads that go along the shoreline of lakes. As you can tell I'm ticked about this whole thing. I'm so tired of going to my favorite areas and finding a gate or road blocked off. When will it end?.....Does a normal citizen have any recourse?....or do we let the enviromentalists in the BLM and Forrest Service run our public lands without a say?.....
