Campfire Conversations 87: Save the Cutoff – UPDATE
Update: 2025-09-26
Description
Henderson County residents have fished and hunted the Cut Off oxbow lake for over a century. The water body was listed as navigable back in the 1930s and therefore public access is a fundamental right for anyone wishing to utilize the lake. Sadly, a wealthy landowner came in and has tried to shut off public access entirely but putting up a fence on TxDot property he doesn’t have the right to build on.
Lifelong Henderson County resident Dustin Baker makes his return to the show to discuss the latest update in the community’s fight against this landowner and the future of the Cutoff. Unfortunately, political corruption runs deep in this case, and the court system recently handed the landowner a major victory in his fight to lock up the 700 acre lake all to himself.
