I know of few states where the high water mark is not the standard, which effectively allows for the canoes and kayaks and wade fishing where feasable. Navigable waterways are protected in this manner. This also allows protection for the property owner. Some of the group that live in some of the more hotly contested western water rights states might be able to shed some light on state ordinances. I fully support the water rights of responsible outdoors lovers, but at the same time, support the rights of landowners.

There is a difference between a farmer owning land with a pond in the middle
of it and a person owning water front property on a large lake, stream,
river or ocean. I don't think we're referring to people walking through
your yard. I do believe it should be public access up to the high water
mark and 10 - 15 ft beyond. People who have access to a canoe or kayak
wouldn't be threatened by hostile landowners and could enjoy fishing and
nature also.
