Little Juniata Spat Reaches Court

June 11, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

The state of Pennsylvania is suing the Spring Ridge Club, which owns both sides of a 1.3-mile stretch of the Little Juniata River, to enforce public access to the river in that section. The owner of the club says the river is not navigable, which means it is not public water, according to state law, but the state is arguing the opposite.
