I’ve been on a HOA condominium board for more than 10 years. I’d advise you not to get involved with the government, especially with anything to do with the ownership of part of the property.
The environment clique within the EPA is strong and vicious in their application of rules and regulations they wrote themselves, mostly without much Congressional oversight. Words in a regulation that seem innocent today, they could interpret tomorrow to mean something ridiculous. And how do you fight them as a small HOA? You can’t. You don’t have the money for that sort of contingency.
What could they do? Since they would own the rights to the creek, what would happen if they said the runoff from the higher land (your driveways and lawns) into the(ir) wetlands is illegal and you must pay a fine for pollution and also do something to make sure it doesn’t occur. They are probably the most unreasonable agency in the government because they are staffed with radicals and have had an almost unlimited run in making regulations.
