Who owns it? You own it, water it, mow it and PAY TAXES on it.
This myth of public right of way appears regularly, and some self entitled individuals are only too glad to believe, or pretend to believe it, for their own convenience. No one except the appropriate officials may access your property for work or maintenance.

Not wrong. I don't know about your property, but my survey plat clearly states that it is a "Right of Way", not an easement. There are easements designated on the back of my property inside the lot line, but this is outside of the lot line and is stated as a right of way. My front lot line is designated to be located 7 feet back from the street pavement. So, the 7-foot strip of land between the lot line and the street is not on my property.
