Boat and lake laws

On lake simcoe, the waters edge is the boundary. As long as you are in the water it is considered crown land. People hunt everywhere around the lake.

I suggest using common sense when hunting near public areas, I posted an article for reference of a past incident where a complaint was filed.(please note the first name of the complainant... lol)

I know from hunting Long Point Bay that you must be within a certain distance ( I think it's 30m) of the shoreline aka emergent growth. Different regions will have different rules so I would start by asking questions at the Town Hall and/or police and/or MNR office.

it is 300 meter on the inner bay from vegetation and once in the outter bay you can be as far away as your would like

Why not contact the MNRF and speak to a CO? Probably get your answer?

If you can legally hunt any body of water from a boat it would open up huge new opportunities but also a huge can of worms.......

If the waterway can be accessed without trespassing,we already can.
