private river

A river to which a riparian owner may claim ownership of the riverbed because the river is unnavigable or navigable only by vessels with shallow drafts.

• A navigable private river is not wholly owned by a private person and cannot be closed to public use; people may still make ordinary use of the river for transportation and navigation.
