in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Eagle Lake sits partly in Mississippi and partly in Louisiana. This law officially declares it a nonnavigable stream under the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Congress can still change or cancel this rule at any time.

Eagle Lake lies in two states: part of it is in Warren County, Mississippi, and part is in Madison Parish, Louisiana. This section declares Eagle Lake to be a "nonnavigable stream" for purposes of the U.S. Constitution and federal law. That label affects how federal navigation and waterway laws apply to it. The section ends by reserving Congress's right to alter, amend, or repeal this rule at any time in the future.
