From the WI DNR:
Public or Private? How Do I Know If I’m Trespassing?
• Navigability determines whether a waterway is public or private. Navigable lakes and streams are public waterways.
• A waterway is navigable if it has a bed and banks and it is possible to float a canoe or other small craft at sometime of the year — even if only during spring floods.
• Because they are public, you may use navigable waters for fishing, boating, swimming or other recreational activities, provided public access is available, or you have permission of the land owner to cross their property to reach the waterway.
Once on a navigable waterway, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR FEET WET, YOU MAY WALK ALONG THE BED OF THE STREAM, FISH, SWIM, OR BOAT IN ANY NAVIGABLE LAKE OR STREAM.
