Boat Launch

Chemo is a wonderful pond full of rich history to the Penobscot Region and our native americans, it also is great for summer camp program and local recreation. It hold bass fishing tournments and float planes. However access by the public is restricted. The only landing I know of is private at Deans Landing, where one pays a fee to launch a boat. It is a long drive from Clifton and the East Shore. A resident at the end of the Getchel Rd was always kind enough to let us put the boat in, however a new home is present and that option is not available anymore. There is a launch on the Scott Point Rd, that is also private and located next a house. We use this launch, but always feel like we are bothering the homeowner. It is time we find a way to purchase a peice of land in Clifton on Chemo and provide public access to all. I am sure there are a number of issues on this, the first woudl be impact to neighbors and how to manage or pay for maintenance/upkeep. Also is there any land available in Clifton or would we have to look at the Bradley east shore. I would like to hear your comments.
