MossBack Walk miles from the lake before the end. No need for recovery of the body; nature is gifted at recycling.

I wouldn't want to be eaten alive by bugs until I passed and the critters re-cycled me.  ;) :o :o

I think the best way would be to take your hammock with a bug net, little fly and a day-pack with whatever you wanted to ease your passing? NO judgment here.

Then PUSH your loaded canoe off and let the wind take it down the lake. Big a big enough lake they wouldn't find you but someone would find your canoe/gear with in my case a NOTE saying "Do NOT waste your time looking, I'm IN my Happy Place!  ;) ;D ;D

Hopefully whoever found you canoe would respect that and be very vague to the bureaucrats who would want to find you.
