Is the canal right next to the L&N train bridge really private?

Was fishing the L&N train bridge recently, and then after wanted to go through a canal/cut right next to it and saw it was marked private. I know that many places are private but I was really confused how the land that holds the bridge could be privately owned.

The canal I am talking about can be seen in these google maps screenshot:



It is in the bottom left of the picture right under the bridge. On each side of the entrance are two private property signs.

Does a private citizen really own the land that holds the bridge and the marsh on the other wise that google cals 'catfish point'?

Just go fishing dude. If someone asks you to leave just say you're sorry and move along quietly.

It's possible. I don't know how anyone would know the answer to the question unless they abstract the title to the property at the court house.

Let us know what you find out.

fishing1, I have a question for you.

How did you come about to start suddenly getting into fishing so much without much prior experiences?

Retired?
Major lifestyle change?
Divorced?
Said screw it?

Just curious, because I am jealous.

There is a meeting in Lafayette next Wednesday to discuss this topic. Not specifically this canal, but the greater topic.

Went fishing all the time as a kid/teen with my dad and his friends. Then didn't fish at all during college and while getting my career going. Now have career going and the time and money to sustain originally buying a boat, maintaining it, all the gear needed, etc.

Making up for lost time! I still know how to fish well, the boating aspect is my huge learning curve currently.

This board has been incredibly helpful though with all the local areas and my endless stupid questions.

This was my plan actually, just was confused how that particular area could be private.

It's almost all private. Very little public land on that lake.
