Who determines where you can or cannot land one?

Whoever owns the water.

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.

Anyone have any experience in training and receiving their seaplane
certification?

On a side note, I emailed ICON and they referred me to the seaplane
directory. I asked about the "boating" aspect, that is if a license was
needed since you can, theoretically, move around the lake in it. Got a
"No" but I wonder when "No" becomes "Yes".Several lakes I would like to
fly into have adequate landing lengths but ramps would be miles away (if
you were to pull to the dry for a trailer.

Hm, come to think of it, I wonder if you could dry or wet slip an ICON?
