Let's say "bob" and "joe" have property. There's a pond on both of their property because the property line is in the middle of the pond. Can joe put his boat in the pond on his property and paddle to bobs side LEGALLY?

Legally, no that is a trespass.

LEGALLY you're probably in the right here. However, it's usually best to try to be amicable with your neighbors. He paddles on your side, you paddle on his side; who really fricking cares. Maybe one day the two of you could paddle the pond together over a beer.

Depends on how their deeds are worded (and how plat is drawn). Very possible that LEGALLY he can't do so.

However, KR makes a very good point about "good" neighbors.

I'm just a guy on the Internet, but I'd assume once you cross the property line in the middle of the pond you are trespassing. So if you are asking can he paddle to their land, I would assume you trespassed while doing so.

It's not a "navigable waterway", so no.

Normally two guys who own adjacent properties wouldn't build a shared pond for that exact reason. If for some retarded reason the pond was split in half, you couldn't go on the other side

How big is Bob and Joes pond?

It's not like the fish will stay on one side of the property.

Bad neighbors suck. I've been there.

Buy a seine and pull every fish outta that pond in one night. Have fish fries for the next few weeks outside so he can smell them but don't invite him.....

In Ms. Joe can put his boat in on his land or land he has legal access to paddle his arse all over the pond/lake. This is commonly asked during duck season and as long as Joe is within the normal high water mark he is legal. If the water rises and Joe wants to go into the timber in his boat he is trespassing.
