What you refer to is that quirky little law thats allows a landowner to let people onto his property for every day of the year but one. As long as the landowner closes the path and allows no access for that one day a year, the landowner retains all legal right to close down access legally anytime he/she wants too. That one-day closure keeps the path and property private. But then again this being Massachusetts, monied landowners can probably get anything done in court, whether the access is closed once a year or never closed. What Flaptail mentioned though is very different. New owners of a property means new rules.
