Nobody in Louisiana knows what public and private waters are? WTF

I'd make it simple. If it's not a pond or lake on private property it's public water. End of discussion. If you can't put a property corner in it because the water is too deep you don't own it.

So if you once owned 1000 acres and 500 is now covered in water that touches public water, it becomes public water.

If the levee broke and the Mississippi River rerouted itself through your property, you don't own that part of the river. That's what needs to be done.

As for property tax you get taxed on land owned, not water.

How is it corrupt?

Because you have certain land owners that say “ we gon mehk anazample outta you breh”. And they know their cousins best friend is greensjeans .

Then you have people that can traipse all over someone else’s land and nothing will be done.

It causes ill feelings and in some cases very tense situations.

No one of final authority wants to deal with it and that is corrupt.

Not mine anymore is my take on that.

Yes you are not liable.
A. An owner, lessee, or occupant of premises owes no duty of care to keep such premises safe for entry or use by others for hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, sightseeing, or boating or to give warning of any hazardous conditions, use of, structure, or activities on such premises to persons entering for such purposes, whether the hazardous condition or instrumentality causing the harm is one normally encountered in the true outdoors or one created by the placement of structures or conduct of commercial activities on the premises. If such an owner, lessee, or occupant gives permission to another to enter the premises for such recreational purposes he does not thereby extend any assurance that the premises are safe for such purposes or constitute the person to whom permission is granted one to whom a duty of care is owed, or assume responsibility for or incur liability for any injury to persons or property caused by any act of person to whom permission is granted.

in a lot of parishes green jeans can't write trespass tickets.


but a case in point is say a place like bay denise which is slowly converting from open water to solid land - the family that owned that open water for generations now owns the land.

if people were paying property taxes on that "land" for eons what do you do - give them their money back with interest.
