This already happens with public utilities and whatnot.

I own a number of acres with a public walking trail through part of it. I don’t particularly like having random people being able to walk though my property, but honestly it’s such a minor inconvenience. And people use it much less than you’d think, especially in sparsely populated places like Wyoming.

If you own the property how is the public allowed to walk on the trails? Is there an easement or something similar?

[LorenPechtel]

Trails create easements that can continue even when the land becomes private.

[barsonme]

Yeah, there is an easement for the trail.
