Road closed / opened

You are absolutely correct.

Everybody on the property is trespassing, including you. I can't see where you have authority to enforce trail location on someone else's property.

 

[Michael Aos]

I specifically did NOT do that. "Useless" is probably not the right word, but the ~20 yards I (tried to) close isn't used by anyone but the ATV's and illegal dumping.

I chase people doing illegal dumping out of there all the time!

you might have made it more difficult for the public utilities to perform their mission.

 

[Michael Aos]

Correct, although "structure" might be a little strong. I put up some sign posts.

I think most people assume it's city property. I've been trying to raise awareness that it's private property.

you trespassed and put up structure on someone else's land without permission to prevent others from disturbing you

 

[the old grind]

Similar happened to 60 ac behind my ten some years ago. The only relief was when someone bought and began using the property. (in hay, now)

I'd start with a well-placed log whose removal slows someone down enough for a trail cam to catch a few frames. It's only info, but such is indisputable where I come from.

Executor have any info regarding plans to sell? Sounds like owning 'all' would be a nightmare due to 'past practice'.

Dealing with "but we always did" at worst may just take a group of self-entitled to age out of a hobby, school district, civilian population, etc ...

Uhh, I guess this isn't post #8. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

This is the space I'm referring to:

I understand your frustration, but you may be exposing yourself to some liability. If you put up posts, or move concrete and someone gets injured as a result, you will end up paying $$$. Your homeowners insurance isn't going to cover you for what you did on someone else's property.

Put another way, how would you like it if someone blazed trails, put up posts and signs on your property without asking?

Talk to the owner, talk to the authorities and try to find remedy

Otherwise, keep doing what you are doing and assume the risk.

Until the owner has given you their permission you would be best off staying right off of the property. You are liable for any injuries someone could incure through your actions.

Investigate if there are any local bylaws that would be to your benefit. If so there are then options that do not involve you.

It's a Sticky Wickett it is.

good chance you most likely have some sort of "noise law".

you really need to hunt down the owner of the property and get permission. to point of need be "rent the property" instead of fully buying it out if that is not an option. renting would give you domain over the area. and let ya do what ya need to do and remove the trails and be able to legally enforce things. and do what you want to do.

with all the homes in picture, their might also be some sort of Home association doing. or city doing. that might help.
