This brings up the issue with the Lakes Region Conservatory Trust, who owns the Castle in the Clouds estate. They are very adamant about very limited recreational use of the land. I notice that they are very liberal about posting no trespassing signs around the property. A while ago there was an issue about closing down a main snowmobile corridor that cuts through the land.
I notice that they did the same thing to the Timber Island property. Actually I find the signs more of a huge eyesore, but that is the way it is. I commend the Audobon Society, AMC, and the NH forests society to allow recreational use of the land. Though, it may be limited, they allow hiking so that my children and grandchildren can enjoy nature and what it has to offer.
I notice on a couple of occasion, kayakers and canoers camping on the AMC's 3 mile Island. I'm not sure if you are to get permission.
Decades ago, kids use to paddle or boat out to remote islands that have no camps on it and 'rough it' for the night. It was a fun and rewarding experience.
