troutfriend Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Actually many of the islands are actually privately owned (ie legacy) and no camping is permitted. Many of the islands were once part of the left or right bank and when high waters carved a side channel making it an island, those landowners did not lose the rights to their land.

Are you sure.. can you state a reference for this because the Alberta government states: The beds and shores of a river or stream that are bounded by private land may generally be traversed below the ordinary high water mark without fear of trespass. At all times, users of beds and shores should "Use Respect" of the land. Be mindful of fence lines and gates that are required to keep livestock confined.

Legacy is the one example that I know of. Can you define what the "many" other islands are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
