SANDPOINT — Despite multiple protests, the public will not have access to the Camp Bay shoreline until the final path has been completed next year, Bonner County Commissioner Asia Williams said Tuesday.

At the commissioners’ regular business meeting, Williams said that she and Prosecutor Louis Marshall had reached out regarding the possibility of a temporary trail being created for residents to access Lake Pend Oreille while the official trail is under construction this summer. However, Williams said developers are not allowing that option.

According to law, the easement to the shore on the property “reserves access during construction only to Bonner County staff.” The temporary easement will allow authorized county staff to inspect and confirm the completion of trail construction.
