[quote stan55]I would simply interject that the vast majority of the states deem lakes, rivers and streams to be public property. You must gain access to the waters via public land to be legal. The farmers, ranchers or whatever who own the land that borders the water are fine with it. I find the Utah landowners objections to be somewhat contrived.[/quote]
You may be right when it comes to lakes and larger rivers.
If you do your research you with find that the majority of states side with the property owner when it comes to property that is not considered navigable.
The presidents sides with the land owner on this.
Utah's stance does not differ from most states as many seem to believe.
