The owners applied for a permit to install a dock (to replace one that they removed). As it was a long process and delayed several times with employee changes at the municipality, they chose to go ahead and install one (to replace the previous one). They were told that they had to remove it because they had not officially received the permit. They chose to do so. The new owner will have to apply for a permit to reinstall the dock on the lake.
If you do not wish to install a dock there is an access to the lake at the end of the driveway where the current owner accesses the lake and leaves a pedalo etc.
The owners who use Chemin-de-Fer to access their properties are currently in litigation with the MTQ who said they would no longer allow them to use the 'linear park' to access their homes, even though they have been doing this since the 1960's when the old train tracks were removed. It seems as though this matter will be resolved favourbly in the short-term. More details available upon request.
