So. W. Point

I was there last weekend and I went down the sucky thru the lake to find it closed off with boulders???? Now the entrance is by way of some guys driveway. Is this legal right of way? Did the town change it? On the maps I have it says public beach access

There IS a Legal ROW through the opening in the stone wall. You have to park back up aways but you can legally walk down the trail.

No boat, back in the suds.

That trail looks like someone's driveway. You have to go through an opening in the stone wall and there is a small shack being built right along the road. You sure this is a public ROW?

Public ROW's often go through private property. The landowner doesn't need to make it look inviting, they just can't stop the use...

I was there last weekend also.

....what #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& said.

Shouldn't be too bad unless you decide to walk out there at hight tide. in which case, you will be walking, up high, on the bowling ball size rocks...and by the way if you find a mint condition Needle washed up on the shore -it's mine.

You know....legally a ROW doenst have to provide parking, it only has to provide access for people to walk through to the water. This is the great loop hole that will strangle the surfcaster out of many prime spots as more and more neuvo riche folks from out of state move here and stake their waterfront claims

look at tuckermans ~ classic example.

ROW

In Massachusetts it is encumbent upon the landowner that the ROW travels across to keep the ROW open and passable.
