Chris:

I don't know about selective access from the laws point of view, but I do know how to keep 4 wheelers out.  Build a fence with a gap just wide enough for a horse, motorcycle or mountain bike to get through.  Mountain bike and equestrian trails here in Texas have these set at approximately 24 inches apart.

Make the posts on each side out of steel and brace them like you would a set of corner posts.  Set the whole mess in concrete and sit back and wait.  The jerks will likely come through the fence by cutting it and then you clearly can call the law bacause they took down your fence and are trespassing.

The gap you left in the fence is adequate for normal pedestrian access and if you include a gate or allow the maintenance crew access via your property, there should be no problems.  Easements only convey rights of access and not ownership.  It is up to you and the canal maintenance folks to work out the definition of that access.  I'm sure they would be sympthetic to your problem.
