Common Law is from England, it is still used to some degree as a guide, based on case law. In New Hampshire "public waters" means exactly that, they are available for public use. If a family pulls up in front of your waterfront residence and drops anchor (rafting zone excluded), then piles out the family with lounge chairs in six inches of water, they are legally using the public waters of the state. I know some of you will not agree...but that's the deal. Look it up, I did.
