4) Who owns America’s rivers?

You do! Rivers that are physically navigable by canoe, kayak, and raft are in the public domain, up to the high water mark. Access to the rivers may be over private land, so you have to find a public access point, but once you’re on that river you’re home free. So get out there Americans, and enjoy your rivers!
