[QUOTE="Boatcephus, post: 1636456, member: 6263"] So I was riding my ATV in the woods along the creek where I live in Mayes County. These are my old riding and plinking grounds since I was a kid. The landowner is a family friend and allowed me to mess around there. This time, as I am pulling out on the road, a neighbor is driving by and stops. He tells me he bought the land 2 years ago and that I am not allowed back there "No more". I looked at a county map to see if he owns just the cleared land or all the woods along the creek. Bad news - he owns all the woods up to the next fenceline. My entire woodland playground, that I know many times better than he, is now off limits. I know I have to obey the landowner and law is law, but my question is this: How do the laws work in regards to the creek? For instance, are the lanes alongside the creek public domain? I think from what I've read in years past is that only the water is public. So I could kayak down the creek without trespassing? Can I walk up the creek bed if it's dry, or is the land under the creek his property? All in all, it was a douche move for a neighbor that has known me and my family for decades. I don't do any harm back there other than keeping the trails passable. I hope this guy has a breakdown or flat along our property. I will have a hard time choosing the high road. With neighbors like that, I might as well live in the city. [/QUOTE]
