City Park Public Access

[PSUWill]

How far does the public water go downstream from city park? Is there a sign or fence to show whats public and whats private or is it more of a guessing game?

you will know when the land becomes private.the river makes a y and the dairy farm begins.i fished that area today and it fished good.look out for snakes on land and in the water.

There are TWO private land holdings between the end of city-owned land and the Dairy Farm.

I know that part of the creek pretty well and I only know of one Y in that part of the creek and it's WELL onto the property of the second land owner (who I happen to know does not take kindly to trespassers...)

In other words if you reach the "Y" you've already trespassed on about 800 feet of creek on one person's property and are now about 200 feet on to a second person's.

I also happen to know that on that part of the creek the landowners are serious turkey and deer hunters. So a bad idea to trespass at any time, but an even worse idea this time of year.

Sounds like Ozarkians to me... Nowhere else in the Midwest do you have to actually concern yourself with being SHOT over trespassing laws/violations...

This could be another good one buddy...

No need to refill that bowl. I predict a quick death.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh, guys! Watch out, the "Thread Subject Nazi" will be all over you two, and then it's "no soup for you, one year!" lol

:lurk:

I didn't mean to imply you'd be shot for trespassing, but you could be caught in the crossfire! (Though I have heard of the guy who owns the Dairy Farm taking target practice above the heads of trespassers!)

Or rustling around trying to find a snagged fly you might be mistaken for a deer...

Brand new bowl, never been filled. *munch munch munch*

Shhhhhhhhhhhh, guys! Watch out, the "Thread Subject Nazi" will be all over you two, and then it's "no soup for you, one year!" lol:lurk:

Top of the muffin to ya!

My mistake. It was the one coke with two straws that threw me.
