Redd: I have read all these posts and I think there is a better way. I had a situation where a creek flowed through my field from highway to river at back side of field. I built good truck road along the creek to river, then down stream along river to where the locals called the Big Bend, a popular fishing spot. There was a 1/2 acre gravel bar at the big bend, nothing would grow on it. I built the road to give better access to fields with heavy trucks without crossing actual field.

Until I built this road the only way to the fishing hole was a 2,000 foot walk. After the road people could and did drive their cars right to the gravel bar. Shortly I noticed some people didn't always like the road I had built. This field was some distance from my house, so hard to catch them. I could have installed a locked gate, but then I would need to stop and open it always.

I went to an old retired guy that used the fishing hole a lot. I said, " Brayden here is my problem, you and I don't need a gate, can you stop this driving on my fields by some users." There was never another wheel track on my fields, the old guy actually organized the group doing improvments to the road and area in general. They even put in picnic tables, under a big oak tree. It was a great spot to stop for lunch on a lon hot day on tractor.

Here where I live now, and I don't know the whole arrangment. Snowmobile club collects maps from farmers in fall showing them fields they don't want snowmobile traffic. The club then flags routes for snowmobiles at first snow fall. This is quite broad based as snowmobilers have thousands of miles of trail, they police it. I also know you can travel 200 miles from home on this net work of trails. Honey always works better than vinigar.
