At least in the Midwest US, most of the lakes are controlled by the US Army Corp of Engineers. They maintain one of more offices in every state around here. |

FL here, ACoE, Water Management Districts, some FL DEP, State, it's a mess. What got me interested was a poster who was claiming he liked the Icon A5 which is built around the corner from me. http://www.iconaircraft.com/ The statement was he thought it would be neat to be able to fly from lake to lake or whatever, the idea of freedom of access to many waterbodies (the sports, shores, camping, etc). Sounded nice to me as well but practical? |

I don't know what the Corp's policy is today, but they do have regs that forbid air delivery on Corp property and lakes, without a permit granted days in advance. Unless it was an established seaplane base. I have seen ultralights at the lakes on floats, but have no idea if any have been stopped or fined. |

I'd have to say that the local approach control will have jurisdiction (if the body of water you want to land on happens to be in controlled airspace). Otherwise it's "keep your eye out for deadheads" (and deadbeat boat drivers) - at least in Canada. |

One cottage owner was steering his boat into floatplanes to thwart them from landing. He also called and complained that the plane operator was at fault and cutting off his boat. Witness' proved otherwise. He was a summer owner from the US. Tourists. |
