 DD 2/11 Access Rights to Artificial Lake
Viewing this as a case of first impression in Alabama, the court adopted the "common law rule" respecting artificial lakes, which provides that owners of property under nonnavigable waters have no right to access these waters except for those surface waters superadjacent to their property.
The court then proceeded to conclude that the creek that fed the lake in this case was not navigable at the point at which the dam was built.
Comment 2: One of the problems with the civil law rule is that where rights of access to surface waters in an artificial lake exist, expectations arise as to the maintenance of the dam that created the lake.
