The ruling, by El Dorado county
supervisors, banned river rafting on a
23-mile stretch of the American River
in deference tp riverfront property
owners. ;
The case arose when the owners said
they -like the Wi property
owners — hold title tothe river
adjacent to their lands and sought to
bar rafters from pursuing their sport
on the American.
But. in barring the rafters,’ supervisors may have acted illegally. State
Attorney General Evelle Younger and
the Department of Navigation and
Ocean Development (DNOD) both
back the rafters, saying the river is
navigable and open to public access.
They have filed a Superior Court suit
challenging the supervisors’ action.
Unlike the American, however, the
DNOD doesn’t yet have an opinion on
the navigability of the upper regions of
the South Yuba, according to Carl
Moore, the agency's public information
officer.
Moore does say the lower region of
the Yuba, from its mouth at the
Feather River to F Street in
Marysville, has been ruled navigable:
An important point added by Moore
is that a river does not necessarily have :
to be traversable by boat, or even inner
tube, to be considered navigable.
