Advice... legality issues and landscaping advice... unique question... =)...?

Mkay, so me and a friend were biking on a bike path last summer, and we "came across" this path that led down to a river island thingy... you go down this path and it's like TADA beautiful. there's a little creek that runs on one side of this sandy island thingy and then on the other side it's a river that's about a yard across... the river seems calm but somehow i doubt it. ANYWAYS, as far as i know, the land is public property, because that portion isn't owned by anybody, but it's on a public bike trail (the cannon valley trail if you've heard of it) and so i want to know if me and my friend could hang out there, maybe clean it up a bit, like picking up old pottery around it, and fallen logs and stuff, and maybe make a table and a couple of chairs with the pottery and some wood. we were thinking of making it sort of like how they have it in bridge to teribethia, and i also would like to know what flowers grow in medium sunlight and uber sandy soil. plz and ty!

it is probably fine to clean it up
here is a site for sandy soil plants

I would not take furniture to the site but you might be able to purpose some logs for chairs and such
do not disturb the vegetation at the water edge.
your best bet it is to find out who has jurisdiction on the area before you plant anything.
check out the lists of native plants in your area
