(Making public 100 yds. back from beaches--not the revolution.) Of course, almost all the land in question is privately owned, so it would take a revolution. Too bad it wasn't set up that way when the land was deeded. There are lakes here in Montana that have all public beaches--it's like a big public Boulevard--pretty nice, IMHO. >> Yes, we are really lucky here in Sacramento that wise people set aside much of the banks of our Lower American River (which runs through the city) for parks. There are a few private homes up on the bluffs, but the banks are accessible throughout. We also have some beautiful parks on the two lakes above the Lower American (Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma). We weren't so lucky with the South Fork American, most of which is private land and posted as a quiet area. This necessity of being quiet during an exciting whitewater raft trip does detract somewhat from the experience.
