Wyoming Stream Access Law

Wyoming's Stream Access Law allows the public to legally access and use designated streams and rivers for recreational purposes, such as fishing, wading, or boating, even if private land borders the waterway. The law grants landowners ownership of the land beneath the water but does not restrict public use of the water itself. Access must be on established corridors, and any crossing land must be done respectfully and without damaging property. The law balances property rights with public recreational interests, ensuring that waterways remain accessible while respecting private landowners' rights.
