Before you use Oregon's waterways and the land underlying and adjacent to them, you should be aware of some important legal considerations.
 
Why is This Important to You?
Because what you can and cannot do on the submerged and submersible land underlying a waterway, and the upland adjacent to a waterway, depends on who owns it.  If you do not know who owns the submerged and submersible land underlying a waterway and what you are allowed to do on that land, you may risk possible citation by law enforcement officers for trespass.
