It becomes landlocked and only accessible by land to the landowner(s) of the surrounding parcels. It is still accessible by air, but chartering a chopper is very expensive.
I’m not sure what rules there are if there’s a navigable waterway that goes into the public land through private land, there may be issues if you have to portage around obstacles on the river onto the private land. I would assume that if you can access the navigable waterway from public land, you are allowed to use it to reach the landlocked public land by traveling along the waterway through private land, but I’m not 100% sure.

- quickthrowman 3y agoThanks for sharing this, it was an interesting read!
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoI found it quite interesting as well, especially the legality aspects because at least in Texas, the law that the article cites that enshrines people’s right to do this isn’t even 100% clear on whether it’s ok. There’s some more interesting discussion about the place on this Reddit thread that I found when I was re-researching it after reading through this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/pekej7/i_finally_made_the_grueling_trek_to_the_narrows/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/pekej7/i_finally_ma...
