Kayak trip with non restricted firearm

[Jeff117]

I'm going on a kayak/camp trip for 5 days. I'll be camping on crown land mostly.

I'm wondering what laws or of I'm aloud to carry a non restricted firearm in my kayak. Same rules as a car? I tried googling but everything was hunting related, I want for predatory defence if needed
Thanks

Howdy, Jeff, and welcome to the forum.

I paddle on the west coast once a year or so and most of the time have my Ithaca handy. I don't carry it where I'm not allowed - provincial parks mostly - but aside form that have never had an issue at all.

When I'm sitting around the fire, it's with me or nearby. At night it's in the tent. If we go out for a paddle, it comes in the boat with me. It's never really out of my sight.

Where do you plan on going?

I'll be in Ontario going down Tay River to multiple lakes. Riduea lake but it's pretty large, has a few main bodies of water..
Basically I was planning on having my rifle the same way you suggested.
When I am on crown land I am aloud to have it loaded as well correct?

Ive carried my 14" mossberg 500 on my kayak before, a lake on crown land i had to 4x4 too. I dont have my core and was not hunting. I also wondered the legalities of having it with me and am curious to find out.

Have a good look at the ON hunting regulations.

Not sure about that, mate. I've heard Ontario has some weirdness regarding carrying outside of hunting season. Other folks who live there will know better than me.

1. you don't really need a loaded gun in that area.
2. Lots of people in that area which might take exception to you toting around a loaded firearm.
3. No crown land on the Tay
4. also part of a canal system

5. you are asking for trouble

if you were going deep in Lanark/Renfrew (North of 7) in spring then yes bring someting with ya.

But you are in Muskoka light land. You'd be better off with a wine/beer bottle opener.

The big rideau is full of kanata high tech people that will call the OPP at the sight of a Red Ryder

Whenever I’m camping in northern Ontario I have my 12.5” 870. It’s unloaded when in the canoe but other than that the tube is full of 3” slugs. Keep in mind my definition of camping is being in the middle of no where.

Part of the Rideau canal system, Kingston/Ottawa area
