A Waterway Easement and Right-of-Way is a type of legal agreement that grants a person or organization the right to access, use, and maintain a body of water or a specific waterway. This agreement typically grants an individual or organization access to the waterway in order to pursue activities such as navigation, fishing, hunting, and recreational activities. In exchange, the individual or organization may be required to pay a fee or meet certain conditions that ensure the protection of the waterway. There are two main types of Waterway Easement and Right-of-Way: permanent and temporary. Permanent easements and rights-of-way are typically granted for longer periods of time and may include restrictions on the activities that can take place on or around the waterway. Temporary easements and rights-of-way are typically granted for shorter periods and may be used for a specific purpose, such as constructing a bridge or dam.
