It does not fricking matter if the river is navigable or not , it also does not matter that he owns both sides of the river. Except for some places in the south east we have a right to all natural waters. What does matter is that according to washington state law that con man can be held liable for any injuries recieved on his property intentional or not! This is due to the fact he is charging people to walk on his property. He cannot legally stop you from walking in the water. I have also checked out the law books on this.
