So if the COE only controls a little strip of land, what are they going to
transfer to the state? Sounded like a whole bunch of land surrounding the
res.
was federal property.

With the exception of campgrounds and ramp/parking areas, it is only a small
strip of land, defined by elevation below a certain point above sea level. On
my property, it translates to about 200 feet from the waterline. It depends on
the topology.

I don't know the acreage, perhaps in the many thousands, but quite literally in
the shape of a thin, hollow slice, ghosting the border of the waterline, across
many counties, and two states. Roads and utilities to the land would require
ridiculous easements. Any development would take place very close to the lake,
and would obviously be more envrionmentally impactful than the buffer the COE
currently has established. It's heavily wooded and very clean land because the
COE does a nice job of preventing people from messing it up.
