This doesn't fit because your private road does not cause the public road to become impassible. You are also not receiving tax payer support to help save your private road from the same fate as the public road you destroyed in the process. You know what else you didn't get? The bill from the state for the damage you caused.

A better analogy would be you connected a private road to a public road and then used pieces of the public road to pave the one you built.

Not arguing the damage caused in some cases. But fight that fight. Don't take up the cause of "your canals messed up the main canal, now I get to use your property as if it were my own"

 Of the millions of acres of marsh that make Louisiana what it is, only a very small portion is in fact navigable by Louisiana law. The "fact" needs to be discussed and potentially altered, because as it reads today we are all trespassers when we leave a coastal marina by boat


So we should all be trespassers since Louisiana has so much to offer?? Because millions of acres exost, and it hasn't been gated before, you should have a right to it.??

And the not being able to navigate is false. You can go plenty of places...just not into the actual marsh in most places. Bayous, bays, lakes, etc. for the most part are still accessible.

The state has the right to change what is state water bottom if this scenario happens to allow passage so that's something to be taken up with the state.

If the state approved the canal which would also have to be approved by the Corps then it isn't the land owner's responsibility to maintain the state water bottom.
