Ruling ends lake access dispute in Cass County
Michigan Supreme Court on November 26 affirmed public access to Diamond Lake where a public road ends at navigable water. The case began in 1953 when lakefront property owners sought to close access. Cass County Road Commission and the Conservation Department appealed, and the high court reaffirmed the long held rule of public entitlement to the water. Justice George Edwards wrote the opinion noting increased litigation as water towns grow. Assistant attorney Nicholas V. Olds represented the Conservation Department.
