Actually it is possible that an easement is created if a
specific use has been made of the land for a statutory
length of time.  I think it's called an "easement by
appurtenant" or something like that.  

As I understand it though, such an easement is never acquired
by the general public, only by a specific property owner,
and that owner retains it only until he dies or sells the
property.
