Default Winefred Lake access

Yesterday I went out to Winefred lake for the first time. From what I understood, there is a paid boat access at the lodge, and a public access further up the road. We tried the public access, and the road was very dry and rutted... except for one section that was really muddy and wet and impassable. Definitely not a maintained road.
We had driven for 3 hours to fish this lake, and decided to go to the Lodge access... The lodge operator charged $52.50 PER BOAT!!!
So, we sucked it up, paid the launch fee, and went and caught a bunch of nice fish. While we were out, we decided to go have a look at the public launch. It was obviously dug out and destroyed from an excavator!

I'm very curious how a private operator like Winefred Lake Lodge can charge that much money for exclusive access to a public lake!! It seems wrong.

Is there anywhere I can go to file a formal complaint?
