Friends of the Hastain Trail v. Coldwater
Annotate this CaseThis litigation involves two parallel fire roads, an older one and its newer replacement. On appeal, defendants challenged the trial court's judgment declaring a public trail easement was established by public dedication through defendants’ property for hiking, jogging, and dog-walking. The court concluded that no substantial evidence supports the trial court’s finding that the public acquired an easement through defendants’ property by implied dedication as provided for under Gion v. City of Santa Cruz. Accordingly, the court reversed the judgment and subsequent award of attorney fees to plaintiffs.
