Missouri law regarding navigable waterways was decided by a MO Supreme Court decision in 1954 -- in short, you may boat on navigable waters (which includes most streams in MO), and may even trespass briefly on land which is below the high-water line (e.g., pulling a canoe around an obstruction), but the bank and the streambed belong to the landowner to the midway point of the stream (all the way across if the landowner owns both sides of the stream). Corps lakes are public property to the easement lines (and subject to federal & state regulations regarding hunting, fishing, camping, picnicking, and other activities).
