Does anyone know where i could find or what the laws are concerning existing trails in a City Water Shed area? I have a trail in my area that people are trying to close. They claim it is against Federal law to have any type of recreational trails in a water shed. But i have been to many others. I have also heard rumors there is a law that if a trail has been in existence for a certain amount of time, it has to be allowed.

That's BS. A "watershed" is a huge area. I know we used to ride and hike in ours in PA.
I know the one for Seattle is open to certain types of rec.
