Spring River Canoe Where Does The Property Line Fall When Living On A River?

Where does the property line fall when living on a river? - spring river canoe

I'll go canoeing on a river in Wisconsin. They go away for 12 hours w / o all the breaks, so I went to the camp setup somwhere along the River. I wonder whether the sandbars are, in fact, to the owner of the nearest land or the state.

The reason I ask, because changing the position of their common sandbars along the river when it floods in spring and to petition the deposit of sand in a different location. Sometimes sand bars in the middle of the river created, you have it?

If you are to me on the site, it would be nice to connect. Thank you!

Above all, streams (including sandbars temporarily) do not belong to a person or a state. This is a trust, "public" and are governed by federal law.

In general, you have the right to canoe on the rivers in the United States. The rivers are a common way, and the owners / states can not interfere with navigation and trade on the River. In many places, it extends to 3 meters above mean low water, or more often, the high water mark. You can also bypass the rights of Portage, at the rapids.

But ... There are state and federal level. For example, you may be asked to remove all their trash, or not move or take any stones, etc.

That is, there is no law with which to mix the soil, trees, plants, structures, etc., or next to the river (which is not what is needed) to the normal performance of the rivers. The bottom of the river itself is private property.
