Here's some food for thought for those contemplating paddling on Boulder

Windhover Ranch LLLP.

Hi Scott! :-)

I still wonder, who would *want* to paddle on Boulder Creek east of 75th
street?
When I paddled Boulder Creek, I think the takeout was at 39th street. Is
there
any
whitewater between 39th and 75th, moreover any WW east of 75th? ;-)

This is the same question I've been asking myself lo these many years.
Evidently, people like to experience the natural area and see the cliffs,
and floating through is the lazy way of doing so. I can't say I blame them
for wanting to see the area, curiosity is natural thing. However, just
because they want to see the place doesn¹t mean they have any right to do so
without my permission.


True, with the way the laws are in Colorado. It's not that way in Missouri
however,
as we've discussed before. In Missouri, the landowner does not own the surface
water
and any boater is well within his legal rights to boat though any private
property,
and I believe can even be on the shore up to the high water mark (wherever
that is!)

As I've said often enough, I'm ONLY concerned with Colorado and how the law
applies here.
