BTW, The open water aspect of this is totally different to me than canals, and I think the State should treat that situation differently.

I really don't understand how open water with no land around can belong to anyone but the state and it appears you kind of agree. The problem is these two issues are tied at the hip. If it is deeded to someone and it use to be land they purchased but now it is water...

Does the Corp of Engineers still allow most land owners to dig canals if they want? I know permits are required but are they easily obtained or very hard to get approved?
Would it drastically decrease erosion if most of these canals were dammed off? In my laymen's mind it would.

I see several types of canals that need to be considered:
1. Main corridor canals (public).
2. Dead end canals (private)
3. Smaller canals that are used for travel (gray area)

This is just my opinion but seems to me to be a reasonable start...

So what? Just because you can “access” part of a river (or even the whole river) doesn’t make it public.

This is what’s so funny. I would love for you to provide any example of a river being private. By the definition of the law as it is written pretty much every single river in this state is a navigable waterway. They existed in 1812 (which is the key part of all of this) and a most rivers meet the literal deffiniton of a navigable waterway.

A river is a terrible argument in this subject matter.

You said river not me. If you can’t see the irony of your self saying “if a Whole river can be accessed “ it’s still not public I don’t know what to tell ya. lol

I have looked at the map many times in fact. You will find very few natural rivers and bayous that are not navigable. There are a few examples in the marsh area, but there isn’t many. The state claimed most natural waterways of any significance in 1812.

Not sure if it’s irony, but it is fact.

So you admit there are some. Great, now we’re getting somewhere.

I never disputed that. But there are countless bayous, stream, rivers (all the same for legal purposes) throughout the state that can be “accessed” by boat but are in fact private. That’s all I was saying.

I would say for all intensive purposes if you can access a natural bayou or river it is navigable.

It's intents and purposes. That is not the legal definition of navigable.

Y’all can straw man all you want.

Huh?

Rivers and Bayous are accessible waterways.

Accessible does not mean navigable.

Which for all intensive purposes are considered land.

I know a good lawyer or two I’ll take my chances any day of the week in a river or bayou. I feel good about it !

Go on and trespass. It's what all you baws are doing anyway.

Your right there is no gray area. I’m talking bayous and rivers. Theres no reason I would even have a problem.

I completely understand where I can and can’t go by law. I never had an issue. The original post I replied to was a play on words with river and access.

You mofo’s are too serious.
