It's too small to be considered a waterway & is owned under the riparian rights in the bundle of rights within the ownership of the property. We are allowed to fence it in if we wanted. I just don't see how you can fence in a creek. It seems things would get caught up in the fence when the water was high & I really would like to keep things as natural as possible.
Also I feel it's kinda like people being responsible for containing their animals. It's not really your responsibility to keep the animals out of your yard, it's theirs to keep them in. Like I said if my goats came into their yard & ate their landscaping plants, and I said oh ya know, that's just goats being goats, I don't think they would say oh yeah that's fine, we're all neighbors.
As for it being an attractive nusiance, I think anything could be named this, such as a fountain in your landscaping pond. I still wouldn't think people should feel it's okay if their kids play in your landscaping pond without permission just because they were drawn to the pretty fish.
Imp - good to hear it does work without hard feelings.
My neighbors on my immediate street have always called me to ask & come with their kids, & I never had to ask them to do it, they just did. I believe this is common courtesy.
