Utah state parks pass increase

[dubob]

You know Bob, I have to strongly disagree with you here. Utah is one of the few states I've been where they have locked up every public water inside a "state park". You have no free use and or access to the public waters in Utah, this is wrong!

Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd,

You know deep in your heart that is absolutely false.  There are 44 State Parks in Utah.  Not all of those state parks have recreating water within their boundaries.  Here are a few that don't:

• Anasazi State Park Museum
  
  
• Camp Floyd / Stagecoach Inn State Park and Museum
  
  
• Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
  
  
• Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum
  
  
• Etc., etc., etc.
  

There are at least 42 dams listed in Utah and not all of them are associated with State Parks.  I have no idea how many river/stream/creek miles exist in Utah, but the number is well up into the thousands of miles if not tens of thousands of miles.  Hundreds, if not thousands, of those river miles are available to the public to recreate on or in.  There are several hundred natural lakes within our state that are open to recreation for anybody interested in doing so.  So when you say: "Utah is one of the few states I've been where they have locked up every public water inside a "state park"."; that is blatantly false.
