There's also easements into greenbelts. There are some places around lakes where you can only access the publicly accessible areas by crossing private property. Usually, there is a designated path for that access, and the property owner cannot block it from public use.

Then you get into the peculiarity of "corner crossing", where four parcels meet at an infinitesimal point. Can you cross the corner and not be considered to have trespassed onto one of the other pieces? It's.... tricky.
It only gets tricky when there are wealthy landowners seeking to monopolize public game lands they have surrounded by private property, otherwise it’s pretty clearly acceptable to cross.
you must be a really really bad neighbor for anybody to get to "how many angels can dance on a pin head" levels your proposing.

or you can make it a national park and put a surveyor's mark for people to come and visit.

TIL this is a real thing. I thought it was a HN thought experiment.
