Well, did some interesting reading tonite including stuff from the General Assembly's research office, and a law firm newsletter.

Like any of this, get a real lawyer since the laws are complicated at the case law since so much is based on common law and varies state-to-state.

In CT it takes 15 years, and specfically requires "exclusive" use -- they use it and you don't. The notice required to stop it has be served like legal process, and filed with the Town Clerk.

Way I read it, if you let a neighbor use a lane across your farm to access their fields, and you use the same lane you're safe. But if the only person to use that lane ever is the neighbor and not you, it could be at risk for adverse possesion.
