stream access
River bank approach
Stream access refers to the legal right to enter and use a river, stream, or other waterway, typically for fishing, boating, or recreation.
Laws vary widely: some jurisdictions allow public access to all navigable waters, while others restrict entry based on riverbed ownership or adjacent land rights.
The state's stream access law lets anglers wade any river below the high-water mark.
Disputes often arise where streams cross private property.
