Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked by gnopgnip on Monday December 26, 2022 @09:26PM (#34144327)
This is a nuanced area of law but in many cases an easement for public access is not a “taking” or other violation under the fifth amendment. The property owner is not losing access, they don’t have a right to exclusively use the public land they are surrounding so others using it isn’t a loss.

It's normal to compensate people for easements.
