Our state Highway Department and many County Commissions are culpable in cutting off stream access points here in Missouri. It really is a problem. There are multiple places where there are no parking signs on both sides of county roads for hundreds of yards on either sides of bridges over streams here in SWMO. And multiple places where MODOT has blocked access to streams on highway ROW. Often done in the name of keeping out riff raff. To me, that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The public wants, needs and deserves stream access. Those are public lands and if law enforcement needs to get involved in a problem area, then they need to take care of it, not close it off to everyone. That's a lazy and very poor approach in my opinion.
