i posted this question on the millelacs chat site thought id post it here also .. are there any laws pertaining to roads on millelacs .. i can see paying the resorts for the use of there ramps but once on the ice do they have the right to say i cant drive on them ?i feel id have to pay them also if i were to use there bridges but so far i havent had to use any on the lake this year ..im not being cheap here ..ive paid all season so far but theres been alot of complaining about resorts jumping on guys on the lake ..i was just curious if anyone knows what our rights are ..

You have been stopped? I have been ice fishing there for years and have never been stopped. I guess my understanding was that once you were on the lake that you were fine, maybe there was some understanding between the resort owners. I would also appreciate any info.

A resort owner does have the right to charge you for entering on his/her property. However, nobody owns any part of a lake other than land. Example: You drive on the lake from the public access, and then proceed on upon entering a plowed road. This is perfectly legal, and by law, you do not owe the person who plowed the road a nickle. Although,if you would happen to have some trouble on the lake, a paying customer will get help a little faster than a non paying one. (know what I mean?) Good fishin!! EE PS. Been catchin' any eyes out on the big pond Justin??
