you're in Kentucky, and the OP is in New York, and that was also decades ago in Kentucky.. New York made it MUCH harder to do that a while ago.. now, you need a valid "claim of right"..

The point that I am trying to make is that the longer he lets the situation go on, the less likely it is to be settled in the OP's favor.

By his inaction he has given up control on a piece of property he bought and paid for. Now he is going to have to go to great expense and aggravation to regain control of land he owns.

Problems with property lines must be settled as soon as they occur or they tend to snowball out of control.

The folks had a similar situation on a sliver of land... the trespasser was open and hostile... Dad sold the land to the city for a Park Extension... the city lawyers had the trespasser in check over night...

I guess it depends on how deep your pockets are and if you have your own park police force?

So the offender ceased the behavior once he learned he could no longer get away with it. I hope the OP can get to this point!

He is trespassing, mowing it and openly and continuously using it. I think it is more but conservatively it is 1500' x 25'.

1500' by 25' is perfect for a rifle range!

Backstop on one end. Benchrest at the other end.

:D

The AZ problem continues too. The small town had a Founders Day celebration and over 20 people were seen on the wildlife cameras trespassing. These were out-of-towners and had to be guided to the overlook.

I built a mobile home park for some developers. While taking care of some of the zoneing problems with P&Z I noticed that the city had built a street on property owned by the developers. The street was on an access easement to a grocery store. They had not even checked ownership of the property. It was assumed that the grocery store owned it and could give it to the city. Panic was on their faces. Things calmed down when I informed them that the owners did not care and that they had not even noticed it when they purchased the property. This had been missed by the previous owner, new owners, city, banks and title company. Never assume. Mistakes are made all the time with property.

I live on a lake front where the road was built bit by bit by owners to simply have access.
We, as an owners association, even extended that road by 3 miles to accommodate the balance of the owners.*
Just this year we have finally succeeded in having the city pave most of it.

Now one pitfall was the 'bit by bit section' as those 'bits' were never verbalized hence the city did not even own their road. (all cleared up now as the owners ceded those 'bits' for $1.00 ea, and LOL they never got the $1.00 either!)**

*Being in charge of that road project was a most interesting and rewarding project.
** I suggested they deduct that $1.00 on next tax bill.

Our area was initially crown or public land and at first was pioneer staked (squatted), then gov't subdivided into leased cottage lots but without any access roads or other services. We took the bull by the horns and made our own road going simply where the dozer could. That followed by much negotiating with the city to the point where we are now totally 'citified'.
As I indicated the 'icing on the cake' came last Tuesday as they passed a contract to pave the remaining portion of our road.

From what was simple cottages and some shacks most have demolished and rebuilt very nice retirement homes.
It is a simple paradise with all forms of wildlife, pure spring fed lake (no power boats) and a mere 1 hour north of Montreal which is one of Canada's major cities.
Life is good!
