Granted but that is one lake at 15 acres...we are talking hundreds of acres here spread over 7 lakes and many miles?
Never walked around Crown Lakes but I doubt you can compare the two tbh.

That will be a rare thing for a country park, most of the time due to the layout it's just not workable.
Also many parks are v much wildlife havens, they would be reluctant to restrict the access.
Having said all that I do know of one that's fenced, but LV waters are HUGE, And on many you would be relying on the public to close gates, which would be problem.

As Cam says, Nazeing Meads alone covers around 120acres, and split across public access roads and lanes.
In theory, Brackens could be fenced, but that is only a 2 acres part of the whole venue.
The footpath and access road also runs alongside the canalised section of the River Lee, some houses have gardens backing onto the lagoons as well.

I was hoping chatting on here about it might reduce my need to go and do that!
I have a genuine concern for my cars safety in that area too.. also - is it mega far to walk from the car with all your gear?

If you are a worrier I'd say the LV is not for you.

It goes through spells of aggro.
I never had my car or company van damaged, but I always made sure fishing tackle was not left in plain view in there.
A bit strange, as I also walked around the lakes or walked or drove into Hoddesdon to Sainsbury or Johnson Ross for bits and pieces and left my gear on the bank with no problems, nothing ever went missing.
Some swims you can park in your swim on the Central, others are a long walk. Long Island, Ratties, and the bower swims on the join between the 2 lakes, or Pylons on the South are the longest walks.
The North, again some swims you can park behind, others get ready for a walk
Always worth walking around, gives you an idea of what you are facing.

Hi, I've been fishing the Turn Ford consortium waters for a few years, and the main problem more recently was in lockdown when locals treated the swims like picnic areas. Not aware of any issues with cars, and the only thefts have been the odd distance sticks when left at the back of your swim overnight on the road/path banks. It goes in short spells, a few nicked then all quiet for ages.

I've fished in and around the Lea valley for years, the only problem I've come across is the rubbish left by the Eastern European crew, absolutely disgusting. Seen it when bins have been literally next to their chosen picnic spots!
Apart from that I've found it to be lovely 😊

Not just Eastern Europeans mate, the English “visitors” to the valley are just as bad.
