I fish a lot of places where access is difficult at best. I have grown to love these spots more and more. They are the cleanest, pristine beautiful places you can fish anywhere on the east coast. The reason being, idiots are lazy. If it takes some effort and cunning to get to it, they just go someplace they can park and fish from the hood of their car. Now that no one can use the parking lot, which is privately owned along with all the roads there, I have no doubt the place will be very uncrowded, even more so than before. 9 times out of 10 trips in the past I was alone anyway.
They cant shut down the shoreline, and thats all that matters to me.
The place is called Cow Town, and Dreams come true there....................................

As far as general access, Rhode Island has one of the best legal systems on the coast when it comes to that, just to answer one of the comments made. But......................... all the easiest places to go are the most trashed, and in some cases tagged up by the little "G" units that have no clue what is surrounding them.
