Board urges landowner to contact state over trail access at Tarwood
Summary
Board discussed state use of the Tarwood property, saying the public should use established paddle access and trails; board members urged the landowner to contact state staff after visitors parked on private driveways and walked across lawns.
Board members reviewed prior conversations with state officials about the Tarwood property and reiterated the town’s position that public access should be by river and the established trail. "When they came back to see us and agreed that they weren't gonna try to do an easement and that it was gonna be paddle access only," a board member said, noting the state had previously accepted that arrangement.
Residents reported visitors parking in private driveways and crossing lawns rather than using the designated trail; the board advised the landowner to contact a named state contact (Will Duane) to resolve the trespass. The board also noted that the right of way is on the left side of the hedgerow and encouraged landowners to communicate with state staff to prevent further encroachment.
