Rivers

Grande Ronde River, Oregon.

When two Oregon State Police officers marched into our camp on the Grande Ronde River I was stunned.   It was not a pleasant visit and it started me wondering; what are your rights to privacy when camping on public land?  As you might expect, the answer is not a straightforward as one might hope.  For  my perspective on this encounter click here

 

Summary

Researching state law and cooperative agreements as well as funding and costs for State Police Patrols. 

Followup

Waiting a reply from Oregon Fish and Wildlife and Oregon State Parks.  Researching Federal (BLM/Forest Service) limitations/powers in such situations.
