I went up to the end of Mississauga Road last October to check out the place. Peel SB has only sign that not authorized vehicles would be towed from the property. I saw some school buses and children from the distance and figured that I shouldn’t go behing the gate. Too bad that the lake appears to be not accessible for public

Hi there, I know there is much dispute about the lake but I will say that I am an employee at the field centre at which most people have reported walking through to access the lake. The school board property is private property and you are therefore tresspassing to gain access to the lake. We have encountered some vandalism and think it’s unfortunate that some people ruin it for others as not all people are respectful of this. We would like to ask that you don’t cut through our property to access the lakes which in fact is private. There is a sign at our front gates and there will be more signs posted soon.
Thanks

There’s no signs saying your trespassing if you enter through the other side of the lake via the peel camp there. Im a caledon resident myself and just interested in seeing this lake i never knew of, none of my friends believe me there’s a lake in caledon with boats etc. Now that being said i respect and seen the private road which i definatly wouldnt go down but if im on the other side of the lake just checking it out and being respectful i dont see the problem

The law reads: you may occupi any boody of water if you do not trespast to get there. Navigable waters are legal way in. No one can own the water, only property surunding it. But there is no access, with out trespasing.

Privite means private. Would you like some one going your back yard. These people work hard for this ownership. They will kick you out. And have ever legal right to. Its not worh it. Go father up north. pristine lakes, no one bothers you. This is mostly swamp. Lots of skiters, and fish have worms.

Indeed the lake is beautiful. Unfortunately when I challenged the people on the lake to prove their right to privacy the OPP were called and supported their claim. Not worth it.

Its not really that much of a hike to get to the lake, if you follow the established hiking trail through the school grounds its like 5-10 minutes tops.

I was there last week and we got a bunch of leeches on us. It might be nice but I do not think it is worth the hike.

Just sayn.

I have no intention of trespassing or violating anyone’s private properties, but not the natural resources they claim they own, show me the GD proof/documents if so, or else if I am harassed – usually fishing with my 4 yr old, they WILL know they have messed with the wrong guy. Bruce or whoever think you own the water, I suggest you call 911 to call the police before harassing people if you think your allegation is legit or else, go take a hike…

A good portion of the lake shore appears to be land owned by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority, also most people accessing this lake is from the school lands owned by the Peel District School Board which has nature trails directly to the lake. There isn’t any no trespassing signs anywhere on this side of the lake. I seriously doubt they own all of the shoreline as they claim and the fact still remains that you cannot own the body of water.
