interesting, where did you get that? always wondered why crooked creek was floated butt Janes Creek or maybe Martin creek was not…south fork of the spring river is but other smaller creeks aren’t. The navigable list of rivers was not as broadly defined as this an few years ago…

I've floated both Martin and Janes creeks....

Just because you can usually get away with it doesn’t mean its not trespassing.
Using the loose definition above you can call just about any creek or ditch public water. Unfortunately that’s not how it works in the real world.
