Here is the website you can view just what is private and public.

Just follow click on the tab that says State Lands and Water Bottoms. CLick around and take a look. The legend is rather confusing. I learned this way. If you click on imagery and choose pictures it will show a satelite image of the land. If the water has reds slashes it is private. Also if the water doesn't have any color it is private.
Here is a picture of catfish lake in golden meadow. They don't enforce the private property waterways leading to the lake. However, they are well within thier rights to do so. Catfish lake is public property so how would that work if they wanted to enforce the no trespassing policy.
WHat really gets my goat is the lack of enforcement. If it is private, it should be gated, no gate or signs, you can't hand out a ticket.
If you had a swimming pool in your back yard and no fence around it, and a couple of poeple drowned in your pool, you will be held liable. Same should go for this.
