In Finland there is no trespassing on private property. Well, not if it's not gated or your yard or something. And you can't gate large pieces of land like that, so...

I understand that the nature is very different, for instance we have no mountains. So for me, I'm just thinking "just use another road", but some places just have one road going there, I guess. Here, I'll show my point:

I've highlighted the parks in yellow. Kansallispuisto = national park, luonnonpuisto = "nature park" (which sounds silly, I hear it). My point is that the trails in those areas start from a few places, and going to the national park, there's several parkin places you can go to, and you can get to the areas from so many different places. And this isn't a national park that requires any park rangers. I don't even know if we have any, but if we do, they're in the national parks which are up North in Lapland. This is a very small one. Just a big marsh with a lake in the center, essentially.

So you couldn't really set up a gatehouse or a booth anywhere there.

In America we don't have any sort of "right to roam" law, sadly. If you want to feel even more smug and mock my country, wait until you watch this: https://youtu.be/yBrtWXBhuuo

In the west there is a grid pattern of land like a checker board. Like this:

X O X O
O X ? X
X ? X O
O X O X

The Xs are private property and you cannot access them. The Os are public property. The ?s in the middle are public property, but how do you get to them? The only way is by crossing through a corner. Obviously, the private land owners would prefer to view the public land as an extension of their private land so they believe that corner crossing should be illegal because it passes through their property. (Even if you don't step on it you have to cross through their airspace so to speak.) Meanwhile, everyone else says, "hey, you can't just double your land like this! Let me have access to the public land! What the hell do you mean airspace? I'm not a plane! I'm a person! And I didn't step on your property!"

Genuine curiosity being read as "smug and mocking" is a bit troublesome I feel. I've just not traveled a lot. I know things, but I haven't been there personally, and reading about Yellowstone, it doesn't exactly highlight that some company controls access to it, more or less.

Thank you for the info on that though, seems horrible, and is exactly the type of behaviour our laws exist to prevent.

Light hearted banter being read as troublesome is also troublesome.
