That seems crazy.
Here in B.C., all Crown Land, ie: public land is open to all form of public use, hiking, hunting, cross country quad clubs or individual ownership of quads. All lakes are public/Crown properties, open for water sports or fishing.
Only private lands require permission for any access.
Public/Crown lands are open for use. Perhaps I misunderstood the link. I merely assumed the same in all supposedly "free" countries.
