Where does the property line fall when living on a river? I'm going canoeing down a river in Wisconsin. Its going to be like a 12 hour trip w/o any breaks, so I was going to setup camp somwhere along the river. I was wondering if sandbanks actually belong to the nearest land owner or if it belongs to the state. The reason why I'm wondering is because sandbars commonly change positions along the river when theres high tide at the begging of Spring and then it deposits the sand in a different spot. Also sometimes the sandbars pop up in the middle of the river so who owns that? If you can give me a website link also that would be great. Thanks!
