Given the continued questions about this (including my own), let's have a single resource here where we post public land in SW ontario where we can hunt..
Place: Crown Land near Haliburton (not quite Southern Ontario, but accessible from much of it same day drive)
Location: Take 400 north then 118 towards Haliburton. Turn North/Left off 118 on Black Creek Road. See crown land map.
Comments - this is probably the biggest chunk of crown land the farthest south. Hunting/ATV'ing allowed. The area is large, triangular in shape bounded on the south by 118 roughly, and on the top by 35.
BUT! If you are camping there, be careful. There's a hunk of land on the south end called 'poker lakes/cinder lakes' and an area on the north side called frost lakes. If you are camping on those two areas of that section of crown you require a camping permit, and must camp on the defined campsites (the campsites on Cinder lake are absolutely beautiful BTW). You can apparently camp outside those areas without paying/registering but you will get nailed and fined if you camp in the poker lakes or frost lakes area without paying. There's lots of room to move/hunt/atv in this hunk of land and I've seen signs of moose. Also seen quite a few campsites and tree stands hanging around there, so there's definiitely folks hunting. I'll be there this weekend.
If you are just ATV'ing the area, as you come in to Black Creek road about 2 miles or so, there's a grassy area to the right just at the start of crown land where everyone seems to park and unload the atv's. Be aware that until you get to that point it's actually private land on both sides of the road.
Do you mean Black River Road? I cant find a black creed rd but im familiar with black river road.
I paddle that area a lot - it is Black River Road.![]()
Also found what looks to be a book on the subject of hunting in Ontario. I'll buy it and have a look, will post back (no, I won't post back info from the book directly).
