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.


Yeah, good point, Mike. many do to stock fish, etc.
