There are many gravel roads in the greater Pine Island area. Many of them are clearly public. Which ones are privately owned? What exactly are the boundaries of these private areas? If there no obvious signs, how is anyone to know?

It’s a big area around Pine Island, though, with lots of fields to bird, and I was just asking where else it *is* acceptable to go. I don’t want to create friction for local birders, and I am sure others feel the same. Pointers like Felipe’s about what is and isn’t okay are valuable to visitors and help us keep things friendly for locals. It would be nice if those guidelines were available someplace.
