Whoa, guys. There's a difference in the law between littoral property rights (ocean, bay, and so on) and riparian (river water) property rights. It differs from state to state. The fact that the river is tidal may or may not make a difference. It is possible in many states for a riverfront property owner to actually own the water.

Check with a local attorney to be on the safe side.
