Trespassing Alternatives
Trespassing is an issue on Ohio's steelhead rivers that you need to be concerned about. Did you know that Ohio’s Metro Park Systems are extremely important to Steelheaders as they provide many access points to steelhead holding water and there is not trespassing. Without these park system access would is limited. You need to be aware of adjacent land owners to the parks who have there property posted.
Legally you need written land owner’s permission to access private property. The law goes something like this. If the land owner owns both sides of the river, he/she owns the land under the water too. If you are stepping on the river’s bed, you are trespassing.
New Steelheaders should be interested in the following
Metro Parks web sites because they all have access to one or more of the
five stocked steelhead river systems in Ohio.
