[i]Art. 456. Banks of navigable rivers or streams


The banks of navigable rivers or streams are private things that are subject to public use.

The bank of a navigable river or stream is the land lying between the ordinary low and the ordinary high stage of the water. Nevertheless, when there is a levee in proximity to the water, established according to law, the levee shall form the bank.

yeah, it's complicated, but the "use" allowed is only what is incidental to navigation, like mooring boats, etc., not hunting.

Your example sounds like a law school property exam question, with batture, navigable rivers, and accretion, all lumped in together.
