Don't know about all waters. On the big 4 they are COE lakes and not suppose to have any alcohol. Guess that could include the waterway.

Years ago at the Tail Race campground at Pickwick a member of our fishing group filled his cooler and placed the empty carton in the fire pit. A ranger for TVA came by and saw it. Joe had to pour out all his beer. Dang, fresh 18 pack.
