Leaving a boat at a lake

Recommended Posts

THE_BIG_ONE

How long can you leave a boat at a lake before it is considered abandoned. Whenever i go to certain lakes that are hard to access, i always see the same boats just laying on the ground year after year. What is the rule on length of time your allowed to leave a boat unattended in the bush?

The question of leaving boats unattended on Crown Land was answered recently. An officer might start looking for the owner of a boat when he/she believes that it is no longer being used or cannot be used because it is in poor condition. The owner would be required to remove it.

At the present time, the boat cache program covers only the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Kenora, Dryden, Red Lake, Sioux Lookout and part of Fort Frances districts (not including the former Atikokan District) in northwestern Ontario. A person who wishes to cache a boat on Crown land in these areas where the boat cache program applies must apply for authorization from the local Ministry of Natural Resources district office. If the request is approved, the applicant signs a three-year numbered agreement with MNR that specifies all the conditions pertaining to the type of authorization. The agreement number must be affixed to the boat for identification.

Recreational boats that are cached on Crown land outside this portion of the province are considered a free use of Crown land and require no authority provided they are not placed on portages, trails and access points; in other words, don't interfere with other public use. All boats cached on Crown land are left at the owner’s risk.
