Is river bed private property?

Tough issue. I know people who own land along the Spanish Fork river. They own the river bottom to the center of the river, but can't stop you from floating it. If I owned land with a river running through it. It would be heavily posted and very few people would get access. Sorry, but I have seen the trash left behind, and the damage done. We need to be more responsible for our actions. You should see the warm springs at Utah Lake. Garbage and dead fish everywhere. Take a bag with you and clean up other peoples trash. Maybe when they see you doing it they will take the hint and be more responsible. We lose access to good spots every day because of the actions of a few unresponsible un-sportsmen. Its up to every one of us to improve the image of fishermen and outdoors people.
O.K.,,,I'm done.
