And as for the Red River. Other than a short half section below Denison Dam, the entire Red River is in Oklahoma. The state boundary is the Texas side Bank. Actually you are looking the wrong direction. West of the south east corner of the panhandle all of the Red River is in Texas. North of Childress west. There isn't much water but it is still considered a navigable waterway. It is even legal to hunt the riverbed there on foot as long as you stay in the boundries of the riverbed. Gotcha, my bad, and I knew that.  Not where I meant to take this. There are many navigable waterways in Texas. Some by statute, some by fact, not just the section of the red in the panhandle.

If some of you think that private land owners are restrictive with regard to access. Just compare it with "public" property restrictive access. It's public property but it's restricted so the public has no access.
Better to leave the landowners in charge. I prefer to even pay for access to avoid the pitfalls of "free" access. Too many examples of the utter failure of "free" to the public.

These days if you want to destroy something....
Just give general public access to it.

May have been posted already but here's a great link to all laws pertaining to access to rivers and who owns what and such. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/nonpwdpubs/water_issues/rivers/navigation/riddell/Many landowners THINK they know but from my reading, All waterways are the property of the citizens of our great state and even the roadway ROW can't be blocked. Allowing access, at road crossings and bridges, for the public.
