You need to be more specific about this restricted area. Is it restricted because it's private property?? or an MNR No Hunt Zone?? Is it a restricted access road?

I wish I could find someone to ask these quetions to myself as all i run into is a sign saying no motorized vehicles allowed beyond this point ? the loction is on the kinghorn road just east of Jelicoe & nrthwest approx 10 miles in I have asked several people about it but no one really can tell me why, apparently the bridge went out there about the same time the sign went up so i am told but the bridge has been repaired & there is very little logging going on. i have been in there the last couple of years & have seen a truck maybe twice. Someone must know why it is there but I cant get a straight answer from anyone all i get is they whoever that is put the sign up to keep hunters out because of a lodge owner in the area wntts it for himself & his clients I dont believe this but thats all I can tell you about it I am trying to find out through the nearest ministry office to me . Thank you for your response to my quetion, & i will post any information I can get to you If i find someone who knows the area I am speaking about -this is where I need a gps I keep telling my wife . Thans again

These "no motorized vehicles" signs have been put up by the MMR to appease lodge/fly in camp owners who have invested money to operate such a business on certain lakes. No one is going to invest a couple hundred grand to build a fly in operation on a lake, only to find that there is road access to it a few years later. Hence the signs. You can still walk or fly into these lakes yourself if you have the means, but you can't drive in. I don't agree with it, but this is the way it works as far as I know.

I think the signs you refer to are the Onaman lake restricted access area. The signs create a 500m? barrier. As stated above this is a "tourism" lake where no motorized traffic is permitted during the summer months. There is also a tag system that restricts the number of boats that may be cached within this zone. If a boat does not have a tag it will be removed.The reasoning is that if you have to muscle your gear in each time you are less likely to pound the lake into oblivion. I am sure you will not be granted an exception to the rule but if you would like to try you could contact the Geraldton office and speak to a C.O. 854-1030

Thank you for the information I did not know this & understand why. You mentioned during the summer months I wonder if this is for moose hunting also ?? I will contact the officer you mentiond Thanks again it has been a big help

Those signs for the restricted motorozed access are 365 days a year.

Even the lodge owners cannot use any motorized vehicle to access their operation over land, they must also fly in, or walk, bike, or go in by horse, lol.
