This seems to vary with area - some folks are more obnoxious than others (and it seems to be directly proportional to ostentatious displays of wealth). I know that in some areas, there are people who complain if paddlers are in the water near their property - seems we destroy their view. On the other hand, there's Newfoundland (I've probably told this one before): When starting out on a trip, I asked the outfitter from whom we rented the kayaks what we should do if we accidently found ourselves on private land instead of Crown. He replied: "Better hide, or they'll invite you in for tea and you'll never get away."
