Note from Vinne Ha Ha

Hi people,

This year the road going down to the Vinne Ha Ha boat landing, which is heavily used for ice fishing and snowmobile access has not been being plowed.

I called the Town of Koshkonong and talked to Judy, who talked to Paul Swart, and they said that it was DNR property and the DNR didn't want it plowed because if it were plowed they'd be liable for anything that happened.

I was wondering if you were aware of this, and if it were a deliberate policy decision. If so, I was wondering if it was related to the winter drawdown, and whether that was resulting in cutting off access to the landing. In the past the landing has seen far more use in the winter than in the summer.- there are people going out on the lake day and night.

Certainly, if this is a deliberate decision, it's cutting off or severely limiting recreational access to something that has been heavily used for recreation and fishing access in the past.

This is also cutting off access to (and plowing in) the US Mail boxes for the five houses at the end of Vinne Ha Ha, and has the potential of depriving us of mail delivery.
