No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Lac Vert is 1.3 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Deuxieme lac de la Dame for certain.
