Is the concept of "public property up to the 'high water mark'",
which
is true in BC, also prevalent in the USA?


In most States, yes. It's actually described as "the mean high-water
mark."

Or "ordinary high water mark." But first, the waterway must be navigable in
law, and the test is not whether you can float a kayak on it.
