I wonder how many people know that The beach at Donegal Bay is actually private? I wonder if they know the pavilion is private where they watch the sunset or that the lake access to Font Lake is also private?
Clean up after yourselves. We pay the association dues. And I guarantee the garbage on the beach today you don’t.
And the boat at the Font Lake launch. Get it the heck out of the way.

Re: Port St James
One thing, Font lake access is not private, it is St James Township.

They (PSJ) have always let people enjoy that beach. My family used the pavilion for our sons graduation party (call for permission), it was great! Maybe some trash cans out and around the beach?
Otherwise, knowing about the huge influx of tourists and new property owners, I hope PSJ continues to let people use their beach as they always have.
For those of us year rounders public access to our own island is becoming less and less…hell, we can barely use our own harbor anymore. Too many people buying it all up and shutting it down all over. Very sad, and it’s a problem that will drive away the good folks who have lived here, as what always happens when city/suburb folks flood into a quaint area and start developing. Hopefully we can stay away from more associations, ordinances, waterfront development, etc…though I must admit, what is happening on the island now is what we were trying to live away from, escape from. Hopefully things settle back down, or this great place won’t be worth living on anymore.
Regardless, PSJ has always been good about their public land. Don’t ruin it forcing them to shut it down for the rest of us.
Sincerely: someone who picks up trash daily in the summer.
PS: to the guy who I pick up your bud light cans more often than I’d like to admit. I’m on to you, know you live somewhere on hideaway, and now know what your vehicle looks like. Very close to figuring out who you are. Better knock it off.
Keep it up and I’ll drop off every can you throw out of your vehicle on your property every time. Maybe then you will learn.
