Estates adjoining the banks of rivers which are navigable or down which logs or rafts may be floated are subject to a servitude for towpaths. The width thereof shall be one meter if a foot towpath, and two meters if a horse towpath. When the sloping character of the land or other obstacles make it necessary, the towpath shall be laid along the most convenient place; but in such case, when the path enters the adjoining estates to a distance beyond the zone fixed for the towpath, the owners of such estates shall be paid for the value of the land occupied. History —Law of Waters, art. 112.
