Please make a public access point for Chesterfield residents as we do pay taxes. It would be great to see Chesterfield open a public boat access for us. Please do the right thing.

Brandermill and woodlake have made all boat access private, we deserve to be able to fish the reservoir

This reservoir doesn’t belong to just Woodlake and Brandermill, definitely should be a public access.

I, Jennifer Love, respectfully petition for the establishment of public boat access to Swift Creek Reservoir. This vital waterway, currently lacking adequate public entry points, offers immense recreational, environmental, and economic value to the surrounding community. Access to the reservoir would provide residents and visitors with opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and boating, while promoting outdoor activity and appreciation for natural resources. Responsible public access can be managed with proper infrastructure and environmental safeguards, ensuring preservation of the reservoir’s ecosystem. We urge local officials to prioritize equitable access and support initiatives that open this treasured resource to all.

There should be public access to Swift Creek as well as a 'marina' for pontoon boats for people who don't live on the reservoir, but would like to enjoy it. We would gladly pay for marina space.

This body of water serves Chesterfield County residents. As such, access to this public body of water is a matter of county governance and not a matter of private governance or private property. All residents of Chesterfield County—to whom the reservoir is granted—are entitled to equal access to Swift Creek Reservoir, as governed by the local municipality.

There should be public access to this beautiful public-owned lake.

Celebrations property goes before Chesterfield Planning Commission 6pm November 19. This huge development could provide both public and launch access if developer donates some acres to public

We pay the same taxes as brandermill residents. Sounds like discrimination to me

Chesterfield County owns the lake and it should be available to all residents

I am shocked there is no public boat access to this county gem. I assumed it would be open to all residents of the area. This needs to change.

Having only provate boat launches on a public body of water is a joke
