>>1804663Im in Wi, not much in my area other then just walking around or roads thru private land to get to public land picnic areas.
On the subject of land use & maps.
Found a nice looking spot i wanted to take my g/f to in the U.P of MI. It's owned by a conservancy, all the roads on the maps were listed but get there and its posted as a private road no trespassing, clearly to keep people out who don't know, didnt stop me though.
It's an area where the mcmansions on lake superior are just shy of $1m, so that should explain a lot. If of any interest, heres what the conservancy said it took to get limited access to their lot for public use.
"SMP is actually Lot #24 of the private SMP subdivision. Providing public access to Lot #24 at the dead end of the private subdivision road was contrary to the SMP Declaration of Easements, Covenants, and Restrictions (DECR). Before the NWC was allowed to purchase SMP and provide public access, the seller required the NWC to obtain written permission to modify the DECR. All lot owners ultimately gave permission, contingent upon the following conditions: public access limited to weekends, noon to sunset, May 15 to October 15, with a NWC host present. The NWC Board was faced with two options: proceeding with the stated limitations and thereby conserving the habitat and providing public access, or not protecting the habitat and completely ending public access. The Board decided on the former. If the NWC had not purchased SMP, this amazing natural area would instead have 3-12 homes built on it, with zero public access. So if you hear that “the NWC closed off Seven Mile Point” please set the person straight"
