LAKE TSCHIDA KOEHLERS POINT CLOSED!
Lake Tschida's Online Reservation System Will Open On Saturday March 26th For The 2016 Season
The Tri-Cities Joint Job Development Authority (TCJJDA) does not manage Koehler’s Point recreation area at this time! Camping and camping reservations will not be available for that area!

Since there has been no resolution to the road dispute the "BUREAU OF RECLAMATION" may fence off the campground, install a gate and it will become a "Walk-In" wildlife area never to be camped in again.

The boat launch pad could be removed and this will mean that the Roth's campers will be required to drive to the nearest boat launch area at "Crappie Creek" some 10 miles away just to launch their watercraft.

CLICK HERE for a PDF copy of the letter sent to the owners of the "RED ROCK RESORT" by the attorney of Cal & Kim Dowhaniuk who have been asked by the Roths to relinquish their 'easement' on the disputed road issue so the new road could be built. The Dowhaniuks have been advised by their attorney not to do so as this is their only 'legal' access to their property.

This document was introduced to the Grant County commission and as such is now a public document.

A reliable source did say that Corey Roth was working things out with someone'higher-up' in management with the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) other than the local representative at the lake and the Bismarck, ND supervisor thus abandoning the'chain-of-command'. This evidently did not work out!

Corey Roth did not meet with the Grant County Commissioners on Tuesday March 1st to make a deal with the Grant County Commissioners to mediate this issue. Reports also say that the county does not want to get involved in this dispute!

He will also not work with the Tri-Cities Joint Job Development Authority (TCJJDA), which manages the lake because of a long time feud with some of the members according to sources.

If he pays for and builds the road himself it must meet state and county standards before the Tri-Cities Joint Job Development Authority (TCJJDA), the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and the Grant County Sheriff's Department entertain keeping the campground open.

Since the Tri-Cities Joint Job Development Authority (TCJJDA) no longer manages the campground at Koehlers Point this entire issue is moot at this time and the campground will not be opened for camping this 2016 season.

At the monthly meeting of the Tri-Cities Joint Job Development Authority (TCJJDA) in Carson, ND on Wednesday March 2, 2016 a proposal was discussed about how to resolve this issue and will be submitted to the Roths as a final gesture of cooperation to possibly keep it open.

If the Roths accept this proposal the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) will turn over management back to the Tri-Cities Joint Job Development Authority (TCJJDA) and the public will be able to camp there provided all of the provisions in the proposal are met by the Roths. This appears to be the 'FINAL GESTURE' on the part of the Tri-Cities Joint Job Development Authority (TCJJDA).

The BOR agreed to leaving it open as long as improvements are made and everyone stays civil.

So what's the actual problem here? There has to be more than what I read above.

Government trying to take over private property rights with easements for road access instead of building the road on federal grasslands is what I was told. My camper is parked at that campground so it's kinda a big deal to keep that landing open to me. Otherwise it may be our last summer there
