Can anyone suggest a place I can park and walk out? Coming from Guelph area with a few pop-ups for the day.

Somewhere in the south would be closest.

The public parking lot in Gilford is $35 I believe. You might find cheaper parking at cooks bay marina. Lots of snow on the ice so the walk out may be challenging.

For $30 a person you could pay Taj at Casey’s to give you guys a ride out. Way better deal, especially for bad knees.

35$ for parking is insane. You drive along the shore of Nipissing and there is endless free parking. Our lakes and waterways are for all Canadians!

If you get to Cooks Bay Marina early you can park for $15. 3 min walk to the lake. They have Minnows as well

At $30 a person plus at least $10 for minnows, I feel you would get better value by just renting a hut. If you want you could still walk around the area and use the hut as a base camp? He supplies you with endless minnows when renting. If you're not catching and he has another hut available, he will move you.

Unfortunately, that doesn't include parking or traditional access points that are on private property.

There should be a public group or just something... for more lake front residents to offer parking and access. As I know the west side does and pretty sure their neighbors hate it...yes thats why everyone parks on the lake, or you know just buy a truck trailer and sleds/bikes. I went to fish a stocked lake, no public access, was tempted to knock doors, especially after driving for a couple hours. In the end it's a hobby with tasty benefits that can be as expensive as you wish. That's why they say it's $200lb. Lol excluding labour.

No matter where you park it's going to be a walk imo on simcoe.
Your better of going to scugog.
