Answer:
Riparian rights are governed by common law (case law), as well as statutory law, and therefore don't necessarily need to be included on a deed. The following is a FL statute:
(1) Riparian rights are those incident to land bordering upon navigable waters. They are rights of ingress, egress, boating, bathing and fishing and such other rights as may have been defined by law . . . The land to which the owner holds title must extend to the ordinary high water mark of the navigable water in order that riparian rights may attach. Conveyance of title to or lease of the riparian land entitles the grantee to the riparian rights running therewith whether or not mentioned in the deed or lease of the upland.
