Who the he'll gave permission to put that junk in the creek? That's a disgrace. Probably the kayak outfitters did it. Same out with chainsaws cutting away obstructions in Bald eagle....Once again the river messing things up for the streams to fill their own pockets.

I always assumed that they owned both sides of the creek, you're telling me they did that on public land?

As far as owners are concerned... Does anyone know who actually does own that land that the kayak course is built on? I would love to write some letters about that. I don't fish spring creek often, but when I rounded the corner and seen that monstracity overhanging the creek I was shocked. Something that ugly and in disrepair really doesn't have a place on such a stream as spring creek. I understand everyone shares the creek, but to actually build structure on it is out there IMO. At minimum they should atleast clean up the broken pieces, and possible paint or something, it looks terrible.
Is this what you saw?

I will do the same, tell them when they cut the wires down I want my flies back, just the green ones though.

Tear it down. It is actually a danger at this point. Typical hipster crap. Build it without thinking it through and then when you are bored leave the mess for someone else. If someone floats it and gets tangled up in that junk there could be a real problem. I bet it is that kayak renting place that did it.
I walked down to the kayak course near dusk, just to see what all the noise is about.
The tubes and wires etc. all look in spiffy condition. Maybe they read the rants on here, and fixed things up?
It looks good for kayaking. Of course that makes it difficult for fishing.
But if you look at the websites linked above, you can see the situation; the kayak course isn't going anywhere.
Though it may seem hard to believe, not even rants on paflyfish will make it go away.
Does anyone remember when it was built? I think it's been there 25-30 years or so, but I'm not sure.
