Property Ownership
In Wyoming, riparian access to rivers and streams on private land:
AMeans the public has full right to access the water from private land
BBelongs to the landowner, though the public may have rights to use the water itself✓ Correct
CRequires the landowner to allow public access for recreational use
DIs regulated entirely by the Bureau of Reclamation
Explanation
In Wyoming, while water rights belong to those who have appropriated them, riparian access (the ability to reach the water from the shore) is generally a right of the landowner. The public generally does not have the right to cross private land to access a stream, though they may use the water surface if legally accessed.
