I think you are reading more into it than it says. There is nothing in there that says the park stays open. There is nothing in there that says the new owners must continue leasing to Texas Parks and Wildlife. There is nothing in there that says the new owners must sell the property to the state.
(2)A provides for the preservation of the historical public access to and uses and waterlevels of Fairfield Lake. I read this as requiring that they leave it as it is. Public use in boating and camping. Above it also says the state cannot approve any water use application that the new owners have already filed for. They have to leave it open as always and can’t change the lake. You got that from2. (2) Fairfield Lake is one of the premier recreational lakes in the state. (b) Any application for a permit amendment pertaining to Big Brown Creek and/or Fairfield Lake, in the Trinity River Basin of Freestone County shall also require Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approval.

I have been fishing and camping there since before you were born. I've had some monster days out there and tons of awesome memories. I still don't like the government stealing property

There is a ramp on Monticello that accesses Sandlin.
Although not part of the State Park. Negative, ramp no longer exists

Guessing we’re talking about the ramp to Bob Sandlin that was inside Titus County Park where we (used to) access Lake Monticello? Few used the ramp on Sandlin. Time flys!

Never fished Fairfield but this is good news. It's on my bucket list, knocking them off at about one to two a year.

It looks as if they used a backhoe on the ramp in the back of of Monticello cove. The lake is low in those pics. I can see the normal shoreline. Monti used to be about 4 foot higher than Bob Sandlin. I wonder if they let the two lakes equalize now that there is no need to feed a power plant.

So the government that always picks special interest groups, lobbyist and large corporations over the average working man is going to possibly do something positive that would make your life better.......... But you don't want it because its "stealing" the government is the king daddy of all the thieves out there you should be happy they even considered "stealing" something for you rather than "stealing" from you.
I guess if they decided to take away a billionaires bass boat and give it to you, you would turn it down...… some of yall are so full of shhit you cant hear yourselves talk.

One of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read on here. This shows who you really are. I absolutely would not take a stolen boat because I’m not a worthless piece of [censored].

I’m confused, so y’all are in favor of stealing someone’s property under eminent domain? So y’all can fish?
Guess what’s next. Is it really stealing if they are paying for it? But yes, this is a good summary. I love that little lake and I'm fine with the state stepping in to keep access to the lake open to the public. I'm not sure what kind of a terrible person that makes me, but I'm okay with it.
