Official Government Website

The beds and banks of navigable waterways are public lands.  Some private uses of these lands require annual compensation through a lease pursuant to IDAPA 20.03.17 Rules Governing Leases on State-Owned Navigable Waterways.  Commercial uses such as marinas, stores and restaurants, as well as some private uses such as community docks, float homes, and other non-navigational encroachments require a submerged land lease. 

Lease Process

For additional information, review the Idaho Department of Lands Submerged Land Leases Procedures.
