How do you determine who does?


Most bigger lakes are going to be controlled by the state or by a local
water authority. The state would be a good place to check first.


Yeah, I'm in FL, we have private waters, submerged land leases (marinas,
boat docks, etc) and State-Owned (beaches). Will check FL. Private
waters I suppose would be trespassing.


Not necessarily. If the owner of a lake takes money or assistance from the
state, they may be bound to allow public access which may include landing an
amphib.
