I would like to know how come i have to sneak in (the other access is not much better). is this res privately owned? I don't think so. I also made the mistake of showing up at glenmore res at the rowing/canoe club with a canoe on my truck. not a very warm reception there either.
Bearspaw is a pretty sad state of affairs.

I go to the canoe club at glenmore with my canoe pretty regularly to fish.

I give off a pretty strong, don't **** with me vibe and have never had a problem.

Just make sure you read the 22pg document identifying all of the by-laws. They are a pain in the ass.

must be wearing pfd
must have all your safety gear (given)
can not fish from docks
can not anchor or moor
can not exit the craft or go ashore anywhere except the 3 docks on the lake
can not enter the water

and so on...

fortunately there is no rule about crossing the rowing lanes...
