You meant precedence, not Presidents, right?
The precedence does not sit with the land owner on this. If a body of water is navigable in fact (actually used for transport of goods) then public ownership is indisputable. That is why this case was chosen to go to court with, it was a slam dunk. Historical records showed navigability, done deal. The reason for this is so that any other waterway used for commerce will also be a slam dunk because precedence will have been set with this case.
I am willing to bet that logs were floated across Thousand Acres Ranch, guess what that means.
