Posted Section Lines

From what my understanding is, there is 33' on either side of the section line that is open to public travel, unless the landowner has gone through the necessary requirements to get the section line closed.  All i can say is make sure it is a true section line and not a quarter line because quarter lines are not open to public travel.  There is a good chance that most landowners have not closed their section lines unless for a really good reason.  Also i believe there is a certain amount of public access along the banks of certain streams and creeks.  Not sure on the last one though. 

call your warden and ask for their opinion,  they will help you
good luck

North Dakota laws address property ownership for hunting on section lines adjacent to posted land.  I have never read a law concerning fishing.  Nagivatable streams are supposed to be open for access to the normal high water mark.  My brother could help on this one.  I would call the County Sherriff before the game warden.  I did talk to Dale at the G & F dept. two years ago about this issue.  You need to insure the section line has not been abandoned.  This will be recorded in the township records.  Be care full. Best not to trespass.  Explain to the  adjacent landowner what you are doing. When all else fails launch a boat from a public  road ditch and stay on the water.  Asssuming it is a river.  Or find another landowner willing to grant access.
