Back to the OP, it's not like Yellowstone and Canada are our only nature getaways. In fact, we don't own Canada yet, so we have to keep off except for when they're home on the weekends and allow us to fish in the pond. Kansas was the last state not to have a national park, which it now has. And every state has state parks. Trees, lakes, camping, etc.
I grew up on an 18 acre ranch with two man made ponds. We allowed people to fish them freely. The only time we (I) had trouble is when a cousin and I fished late at night on the side of the pond closest to our neighbor. He shot air rifle warning shots into the water. Which we owned. Little men who let their guns speak for them aren't really the norm in American society, but they certainly do stand out.
