First off there is no such thing as a private lake in ontario. Anyone is allowed to fish any lake they want to. You can not own a lake no one has a deed that owns water. You however can own property around a lake. That being said if someone were to get to this lake without crossing over private property they are allowed to use it. You can not kick someone off a lake because you own a property on it. Anyone who does try that have them call the police and they will inform you of that. I have fished many so called private lakes and have never had an issue other then some goon trying to tell me he owns the lake. I tell them call the cops and they will sort it out. I have never been forced to leave as I never trespass. If you have an ontario fishing liscence you can fish anywhere that is not conservation as long as you do not trespass and follow all the MNR regulations. Just read over some of the comments.

Are people with money the only ones allowed to enjoy Gods gifts?, not vey Christian. There should be a public park and access on these lakes for all to enjoy. If the Lake was paid for and made by the residents I would have no problem in it being private. When my dad was young he made some special memories with his dad fishing Chalk lake, it's sad that other kids won't have a chance to make the same memories, yes there are other lakes but why should this one be off the list? Just not right..sorry. There was another I used to fish with my boys called Wagner Lake, a gate has been put up to shut everyone off that lake, just not fair, especially since peoples tax dollars go into ministry management of these lakes. Regards Curtis Curtis I believe, because it’s a natural lake it should be enjoyed by all, it should be illegal for people to buy up land around natural wonders and hoard it for themselves, they did not create the lake God (Nature), did, what gives them the right to exclude others and their children from enjoying it?…money and nothing else.

He sounds like he was a good man, although maybe a bit of a revolutionary. In the case of Chalk Lake, I don't think it's a matter of having our freedom taken away or because of money. The reality is that the lake is surrounded by homes, so although it isn't really a private lake, there is no way to get to it without trespassing on someone's property. Even the one area that doesn't have a home and is used by the residents as a swimming area is in fact owned jointly by those residents and they pay for it. Consider for a minute if you were one of the residents. Would you want people walking through your property to use the lake? Since I don't live there either but have relatives who do, I can see both sides of the argument. Hi Curtis, I’m sorry to hear of your father’s passing.
