It depends on the language of the easement itself, most importantly what the easement if for. An easement is a right granted by the land owner (fee owner) to go over, across, and/or under the land for a specific purpose. (e.g., utility lines, access roads) In the case of utility lines, only the party granted the easement (grantee) has the right to use it. In the case of an access road (e.g, a driveway across adjoining land), the easement can typically be used by the owner of the land served by the roadway as well as those who have business or are visiting that land. The underlying fee land owner is typically free to continue using the land in any manner that doesn't impinge on the rights granted by the easement.

What is more of an encumbrance on property a lien or an easement?
It depends on the lien, the easement, and the owner's intent for the property. Typically, a lien doesn't impede the owner's enjoyment of property rights unless and until the owner wishes to sell. At the point, either the lien must be satisfied by the seller or the property must be sold subject to the lien; in either case, the net monetary return to the seller will be diminished by the amount of the lien. By contrast, an easement essentially allows another entity the right to restrict the owner's use of the portion of the property covered by the easement. If the landowner sells, the land property is sold subject to the easement and the new owner continues to be subject to the easement rights.
