I?ve become interested infishing, hiking and wading along Floyds Fork here in Jefferson County, but I concerned about trespassing and getting landowner permission.
As I understand it, as long as I?m in the water, there is no problem. However, is there any set width of shore that is generally considered an easement or public right-of-way? I feel like I read once that MSD, or some other county agency, owns all land within 50 (?) feet of streams (Floyds Fork, Beargrass Creek, etc.) except for developed areas or structures, but I might be totally misremembering it and all of my attempts to Google it have turned up nothing
Basically, I just want to know whether I am trespassing if I am wading in the creek but then climb out on the bank at some random spot. I could start emailing/calling government agencies, but I thought I?d start a discussion here because it might be more productive and it?s definitely more fun
