Weber Access Ruling

[Browntrout]

Some good news:
Read USAC and the legal ruling.

"The Coalition is entitled to a declaratory judgment consistent with the foregoing. It is further entitled to an injunction requiring the Landowner Defendants to remove any no trespassing signs from their properties that that are inconsistent with the public’s rights as stated above, and to take no further actions interfering with such public rights."

This is Great! Does this only apply to the 1 mile of river that was in question?

Yes, it only applies to the 1 mile in question. Also, i's not official yet... so we can't just run up there yet.... Hopefully this will pave the way on other sections of rivers and other rivers in the state!

Yes, this ruling only applies to this small section of the Weber River.

Now there will have to be a separate lawsuit brought for access to more of the area that had logs driven through it.
Hopefully the court, rather than have separate trials for each part of the river that is posted will state that the ruling applies to all parts of the river. It would save the state a lot of time and money.

Then on to any other river that had ever supported a log drive to have them declared as public. The Provo, Ogden, Logan, Bear, Sevier, Duchesne, Strawberry, pretty much any river or stream that had logs or even cordwood floated down it in order to get the wood from harvest point to market.
