Bill is correct, a liability waiver is just a mental persuasion that may work as long as the tenant doesn't know any better. Doesn't hurt to have them sign one but don't expect that to cover your hiney when and if something happens. On the other hand, the creek is a natural thing that should not hold the same liability as say a swimming pool because you put it there or an unstable stair case or a dead tree in the yard or anything that requires preventative maintenance for everyone's safety.

Bottom line, all it takes is for anyone to sue you for any reason and you have to hire a lawyer to defend it with or without that waiver.
