Utah state parks pass increase

WET1" You know Bob, I have to strongly disagree with you here. Utah is one of the few states I've been where they have locked up every public water inside a "state park". You have no free use and or access to the public waters in Utah, this is wrong!"

I think its funny you believe water in Utah is public. there is no a drop of water in Utah that someone doesnt own even what comes out of the sky, try getting a permit to store rain water. there are only 3 natural lakes in Utah well 4 that I know of including seviere res, all 4 have access that you do not have to pay for to use, HOW ever is you want to use the facility's the DNR parks and rec have built and maintain then you will have to pay to play,

All the reservoirs in Utah only have on purpose and that is to store water for someone to use in the summer, ie: drinking, irrigation, industrial.
Recreation is hardly a close second when it come to the water you float your boat on. we should feel lucky to even be able to use them cuz that's someones water and if they want it they will take it. (see yuba res)

There are access points on most that you do not have to pay for, BUT if you want to use the facility's, you pay for it,
I like using the ramps and toilets,

As far as contracting out campground and ramps on fedral lands, remember that's someone water, ie strawberry, it is no different than having to buy a stick of gum to use the restroom at the gas station.

I hope I have explained it correctly, maybe this will help, look up why you cannot have dogs on Deer Creek res, the answer will surprise you, Im not even sure if Bob knows. but I bet he can find it.
