Today my wife and I were fishing off of White River and came across a nice deep and wide cut from the main channel. However, there were posted/ no trespassing signs just in from the mouth, on one side, and obviously placed for boaters. So, we turned around.

I was thinking that state controlled waters, and any waters they feed, were considered public. And I can't find any laws relating directly to water access; the only trespassing laws concerned land.

Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
