they can tell you to wear a life jacket near the dam. they make kids wear one on all rivers. and you are in YOUR boat on OUR river. but they tell you what to do. oh wait the tell you to wear a seat belt in YOUR car. get my drift.
heck some states tell you what you can and can't do with the Natural resource called rain. even though it falls on the roof of YOUR house. but you can't store and use it.

In a similar manner, as long as you don't tie off to their dam, I am not convinced they have the authority to run you off.
