As a rule, water isn't owned when it's in a moving body such as a stream or river or in a pond lying across property lines. Even though the property lines often extend into the water, the ownership rights include the stream bed or the floor of the pond but not the water within them Water is generally a "usufruct" (from the Latin "usus" and "fructus", literally meaning "use of the fruits') and is therefore a shared right of use. In other words, an owner whose property line extends into a pond have the right to use the water, but not to do so in such a way that deprives the other owner of the right of use.

We would want to reference a term called "Real Property" here. Real property rule says that an owner has the right to put a fence up through the water on his boundary line. So in the situation of a non-navigable water way a fence protruding out of the water is a legal way of keeping trespassers out. I have seen a floating buoy line as well.

Your neighbor has begun to let the public have acces to a private gated parking area on her side of a shared driveway can she do this?

The answer all depends on the language used when the shared driveway was created and state laws. It also depends on where exactly she is providing access, over the driveway easement or on her own land. If the land involved was specifically dedicated to a "shared driveway" to be shared by the owners of the abutting properties then she has no right to put the land to another use. You should consult with the attorney who represented you when you purchased the property. Shared driveway easements are an unending source of trouble when one or both owners overstep their rights. You need to check the language in the deeds and determine what state laws govern the easement. For that you need expert legal advice. You should act ASAP.
