 The government has the power to reroute a waterway (South Carolina v. Georgia, 93 U.S. 4 (1876)); block a navigable creek (U.S. v. Commodore Park, 324 U.S. 386(1945)); or completely de-water a river (United States v. Chandler-Dunbar Water Power Co., 229 U.S. 53 (1913)), each without recourse by those who are adversely affected by the reduction in navigable capacity.One court has held that a federal agency can restrict individuals paddling on a stream, finding boating is not a 'federally protected right'.8
