REDSTARTS

CHESTNUT SIDED

Echo Lake is off Highway 117, north of Bracebridge. Take the Echo, Dickie and Ril Lake road just outside (West) of Baysville to Lawson Road. Follow that until it meets Truscott Place. The small wetland where the 2 roads meet is where all the Warblers were seen. Public Access to Echo Lake is from the Echo Lake Road.
