How do you know what is truly private? I have a small lake near me that runs along a public road. I'd love to take my son kayaking & fishing there but don't want to be trespassing.

it more or less boils down to the land that surrounds it, if its privately owned all the way around then it would be trespassing to go up to it but if its on public property you should be good to go, would just need to find out the status of the property its on.

Here is a picture of the water in question. On the left u can see the road that runs right along the small lake. The small lake shows it is owned by Clearwater Lake Inc. (assuming HOA).

Google maps is your friend. I've found a couple of lakes on real estate developments that went bust when the economy went south. Look for lake around commercial sites...no one is there on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Golf courses are your friends. late afternoons are good to creep on and wet a hook. Also, find a good lake and just ask the owner. You would be surprised especially if you catch an release. Many won't mind especially if you are teaching your son and don't over fish.

This lake is county owned and not far from you.

Lake Kedron is drained right now. Lake McIntosh is open and has a nice size dock to fish from.
