The State of Alaska announced on Monday it filed a lawsuit to confirm the public right-of-way to Campbell Lake in Anchorage.
to confirm the public right-of-way to Campbell Lake in Anchorage. It’s a controversial topic as over the years the dispute has created disagreements between private landowners on the lake and the public trying to access the recreation site. With the complaint, the state is aiming to solve the dispute once and for all.
“Having the court confirm the validity of the easement will be a positive first step. We intend to vigorously protect Alaskans’ right to access public waters,” Boyle wrote in the same press release. “When the two landowners filed in federal court they were, in effect, trying to overturn decades of established section line easements in Alaska, with potential implications for access to public lands and waters across the state.
Woelber said for decades lake users have been kicked off even though the lake has been maintained by millions of dollars of taxpayer money. Many Anchorage residents use the lake as it’s a big part of Alaska’s waterway system. “I think a lot of people acknowledge that it’s really unfortunate that somebody has a home built on a public easement. At the same time, you can’t deprive the public of an easement by building a private structure on it,” Woelber said.
