I think that this is a very real factor, at least in some cases. The adjacent land-owners get to use that public land all the time, and they don't have all the bother of other folks using it along side them; in fact, I suppose, if they wanted to, they could try to charge for access to it (via a toll road). But in this way, it really isn't that different than similar issues around beach access. I'm sure the landowners have other concerns, some of them more legitimate than others.
