Idaho treasure allowed to go to waste

This once was a beautiful reservoir and campground area. Reservoir was a nice long stretch perfect for water skiing, jet ski and trolling. The reservoir was upgraded with nicer boat docks in late 90s to early 00s and unfortunately the irrigation district has closed down access due to concerns for invasive species. As clarification from the listing, there has been no confirmation of invasive species present just a protection method to prevent degradation of the irrigation resource. Unfortunately closure has resulted in resources allowed to go to waste. The boat dock has been drug across the boat ramp and lack of maintenance has allowed willows to begin degrading the ramp and access. Campground and fences have been allowed to become in disrepair. In May 2020 the campground had not been mowed and had at least one camp site occupied by what appeared to be a permanent resident/junk collector, and vehicle access has been secured to prevent vehicles from getting down near the water limiting the ability for occupants or local fishermen to access the banks for fishing without a hike. Water access would no longer be ADA accessible.
