IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Stream Access and Trespass
Wyoming's trespass law states that a member of the public has
the privilege to enter private land only with the explicit permission
of the landowner.
It is legal to float through private land but is the responsibility
of the floater to know if the land is public or private. If you are
floating through private land you must stay in your boat at all
times unless permission has been obtained from the landowner.
State law allows you to leave your craft for short portages around
non-navigable obstacles. The streambed is the property of the
landowner. Wading or anchoring without permission is trespassing.
Access to public lands for public use is only permitted if these
lands are accessed by floating on navigable water or if the lands
are accessible from an existing public road or border other public
lands. If you are unsure, check with the land management agency
responsible for the land in question.
Public land maps, available from the Bureau of Land Management,
are excellent guides to help avoid a trespass violation
and fine.
In all cases, respect the land, the landowner and those who
come after you by removing litter and minimizing evidence of
your presence and the evidence of others who have not been
so considerate.
Treating your access as a privilege goes a long way in gaining
more access for fishing and hunting in Wyoming.
