Appeal filed in 13-year legal battle over access to Oswego Lake

Though not uncommon for web-footed Oregonians to be observed braving a rainstorm in a kayak, the image of a pair of kayakers putting in at Millennium Plaza Park in Oswego Lake is novel.

A couple of weeks ago, ignoring the "private lake" and "no access" signs and pushing past the metal art structures and boulders meant to block lake access would likely have resulted in a stern talking to from Lake Oswego Corporation (LOC) patrols.

As of March 3, LOC, which manages the lake for the benefit of roughly 4,000 households with private access, no longer holds the power to block public access to the nearly 400-acre body of water.

The ruling from a Clackamas County Judge came in a 13-year battle between plaintiff Todd Prager and the Corporation. On Wednesday, LOC filed an appeal in the case. The City of Lake Oswego has not yet indicated whether it will appeal.
