It amazes me that this surprises anyone. This is what happens when too many people learn about a good thing. You inevitably start getting the j-offs coming in, abusing the privilege, littering etc. Same reason Lee's county park isn't open to ice fishermen on Hopatcong. I'll give it another year or two until you're gonna have a lot tougher time finding a place get onto the ice on Pompton once the "No Parking" signs start going up because people are littering and hanging out en masse on the road. Not going to open the whole "spot burning" debate again, but this is why people just need to keep things to themselves sometimes.
