Does anyone know the status of the Little Buffalo Road? Is it public access or private land? I am going to be doing a little exploring and was considering making it one of my stops. I havn't been down that way since Tellico closed...:confused:
 
It is closed and gated.....I used to have a picture but can't access it from the iPad....but is definitely done.
 
Btw anyone iterested in a private land buy?
There s ~50 acres for sale right off the road bed for 1200/acre
 
CLOSED about a year or two ago. The land owners have keys to the gate.

Another example of an illegal closure by OUR governmnet (U.S. Forest Service). This property was sold with a reservation clause that provided public access on an easement along the road according to the SFWDA Director Of Legal Affairs.



 
In the deed scan the highlighted yellow part states:

"Reservation Of Easements And Use: All roadways as shown upon the plat of survey entitles Snowbird and Little Buffalo will be dedicated to public use, each roadway to have a right of way width of sixty (60) feet measuring thirty (30) feet on either side of the center line of each particular roadway as it presently exists. Subject also to the Easement of power lines."

FWIW those 2 really dont compare. This was a fun day trail but it was a single cople mile trail...Windrock...well there s a tad more there.
 
I really dont know anything about this mainly due to me being young and havent been wheelin long. So your saying that this trail was not closed by the state but by the owners even though the state said that it could be used by the public?

The state gave rights for public use. Meaning we can use it for off roading. Then the state put up a gate. They gave the owners of the property keys to the gate.

Now...to drive down the road, you have to get permission from the owners.
 
It's a public right of way.

from my understanding from talking with one of the last groups to roll through there is that not all the owners like it and don't want trucks to come through there. you also have to have permission and someone with a key.

however, it does it look a public ROW according to the paper work but isn't that how most roads are laid out in the forest? you can walk them but you cannot drive them because of the gates?
