I grew up fishing, swimming and playing in Upper Brookfield creek. My dad told us that as long as we stuck to the creek we could pass through anybody's property because the creek remains crown land. Perhaps something has changed in the last 50 or 60 years but I doubt it. Of course the creek ran all year round at that time because there were only a few farms pumping from it and water was treated as an important asset to be protected and used wisely.
