If the road the lodge owner maintains the road and the road is leased and/or is a party to a reciprocal agreement with the county exists, where he maintains access in exchange for leasing the launch, and thereby charging whatever he/she wants to for launch fees, then that's one thing.
If someone is digging up the public launch in order to funnel all that business to him, that's criminal. I am not saying he is or isn't doing that - I would hate to think someone would be so bold as to do something so obviously unethical.
I'm sure there two sides to the story - but enough people here have expressed concerns that it wouldn't shock me either way.
