  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. A picnic site half a mile off makes this workable with family in tow. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Kelly Lake at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Colony Land Development Lake in what we hold.
