Are you prevented from fresh water swimming because you can't fabricate a beach for yourself, even if you own the property next to it? Seems like a strange complaint

Crawling through brush to get to the water isn't fun.

Besides, half the fun of the "beach" is the clearing where you can sit and read a book or play in the sand.

Do you need to own a beach to go to the beach?
