This makes me long for MN - never a launch fee, plenty of access and public land up to the high water mark. No fee for entering state parks either unless you wanted to camp. Everything was well maintained by the state/DNR. State taxes are higher than UT but you could see you were getting something for the money. The "private" partner aspect makes no sense to me. Look at the Minersville situation where the county runs a park and charges use fees that make sense. That park pays for itself and the amenities are better than Pineview or the Berry.
