I don't think there is any "crown" land in that area... I expect your friend is referring to the "Petersburg Regional Forest" which is one of the "Region of Waterloo" forest tracts.... There is some information at the attached link -- Pg 27 ... and I'm pretty sure it's in WMU 80

You will want to research current information further though... Counties often change usage restrictions (EG, Hunting) on these properties and this PDF may not be current information. "2006"

There is crown land outside Petersburg and it's in WMU 80. Hunting is permitted there but there's LOT'S of dog walkers, and I do mean LOT'S. Most are from the city too so you know what that means, lol

its good to hunt if you're looking for squirrel, crow or groundhogs. coyotes out there too.
be prepared to go for a long walk though. if you bring a gun, i bet you'll be eyed down and even stopped. i'd keep it in a sock till you're away from the main trail. i bring a bow every once in a while and people are fairly nice when they do stop to talk. not a great spot, but take what you can get, hey?

X2 on making a call and ensuring the local regs haven't changed.

drive a little further and go to the gadshill swamp or the ellice swamp.you will have to get a permit from the upper thames conservation authority.if you join the friends of the swamp for $10 you don't have to pay the user fee.
