[QUOTE="KDM, post: 265441, member: 314"] Yep, totaly fine to post the sign there. However, easements for travel include "traveling" to the river for whatever reason. Many kayak fishermen access water using the ditch as well as land based fishermen like myself. Which is why you see guys fishing under bridges instead of up or downstream from them. As long as you stay within the 75 ft or whatever distance the easement is from the center of the road, you are fine. The ground up to the high water mark along rivers is public and controlled by the COE most of the time and open to the public which is why guys can hunt river bottoms using a boat when the surrounding ground is posted. Last time I checked with the COE for a "high water mark", they said it was the stated "flood stage" level for whatever location you are interested in. That was a few years ago, so things might have changed. [/QUOTE]
