Whoever owns the water.

Whoever has legal juridicion over the body of water, just like dirt.

In Canada it's the pilot.

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.

Let's say the State of X is the water owner. In CA, the pilot can land
anywhere. Without penalty?

In US? Where is the jurisdiction enforced?

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.

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.
