What a shame that something like this is privately owned.

Doubt it would look this way if it were public

I mean I was hoping it would be a state park or something where it's preserved and maintained. A private owner can choose to do whatever they want with the land.

Its more or less preserved, the landowner is a timber company, but it's not under threat of being logged because it's way too steep to actually get in there and cut (and they're required by state law to maintain a 500 foot buffer along the river). It's more an issue of public visitation causing liability issues than anything else.

I get what you're saying but just the fact that it's owned by a Timber company doesn't make me feel better lol
