Book excerpt: Conflicts between sportsmen and landowners over the issue of access to public domain lands result primarily from economic factors associated with recreational uses of these lands. This report describes the problems experienced in its management of the Piceance Creek area in Colorado and the Caliente Mountain area in California. All access roads to both areas pass over privately owned land; the owners restrict access over these private roads. Alternative arrangements that would more fairly apportion costs and benefits to landowners and sportsmen alike are evaluated.
