Castmaster,
Honestly you should educate yourself before replying. You have more of an European style own the waterway thought. If people want that they need to move to another country. It has never passed as sound law in the U.S. I'll correct one point about public access to waterways- it has continually been the accepted law of the land back to the original colonies in the 1600's not 1700's. It has always been the standard in the U.S. and Utah since the state was founded by pioneers as well as at gaining statehood. I think you may be
because frankly many landowners in this state have gotten away with criminally keeping people off the public waterways that flow through their land in this state.
Long ago the U.S. Supreme Court settled the issue to access to flooded land in favor of the usual high water mark. Not only does the public not have legal access to the dry land they don't have legal access to be on that water above the usual high water mark during the flood.
I own ocean front property in Alaska. And yes the public has legal access to the shoreline through my property even if I put up no trespassing signs and I start to behave criminally like some here in Utah do . I'm not sure if this legal access allows anyone to camp on the shoreline there or along a river in Utah- I sort of doubt it as I have never read anything to support that.
Honestly to me you're siding with criminal behavior. I wish all you antiAmerican and antiUtahns would move the hell out if you don't like our laws.
