Mission and Vision

On rivers such as this river that are navigable in canoes and kayaks, federal law confirms the public easement to fish and walk along the banks, even where the banks are private property.
The Mission of NOR is to:
Stop unlawful interference with the public easement on rivers nationwide, by educating government officials, riverfront landowners, river users, and the public about public rights on rivers, including rights to canoe, kayak, raft, fish, fowl, and walk along the banks of rivers.
The Vision of NOR is to:
- 1. Clarify public river rights on thousands of miles where they are disputed, including canoeing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, birding, and other uses.
- 2. Address public and private land usage along rivers.
- 3. To conserve the land along rivers, and keep enough water in rivers to keep them healthy and usable for navigation and fishing.
