A delightful place to visit, the well-marked and maintained trails offer up to 2.5 km of fairly flat walking.  There are excellent bridges, boardwalks and natural paths in good condition that encircle the large pond. The history is fascinating with a photographic storyboard and tribute to naturalist Harvey Moore and his waterfowl within a shelter at the end of the trail.  Harvey’s son Charlie manages the property.   Email him for information on the site: macleods@dfo-mpo.gc.ca or   peisra@eastlink.ca

Information plaques are posted around the trails giving details on wildlife and the history of the sanctuary.  There is plentiful parking, toilet facilities, a childrens' playground, a floating dock and gazebo for viewing the waterfowl and fishing trout from the pond.  

 

Directions

Drive about 6 km South of Montague on Hwy 4.  Watch for a sign on the right (West).  If you reach Buffaloland, you've gone a bit too far.
