Posting for Jim Richards: From: Jim Richards <jmr.naturepix@rogers.com> Date: Sat, Aug 22, 2020, 11:20 Subject: NOTICE - McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve Trails & GM parking lot closures *NOTICE:* Birders, I want to pass on some important information regarding the trails around Oshawa Second Marsh. The McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Trails (east side) are open but *parking is no longer permitted in General Motors (GM) lots* and trails can not be accessed from the GM parking lots. This new development goes into effect immediately. Reasons for this are many. You can enter the McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve Trails at two locations: 1- Just past the Ghost Road Bush (woods), before the bend in the road, a wooden information kiosk marks the trailhead. Parking is allowed on Colonel Sam Drive. 2 - Pass the GM building and go to the end of Colonel Sam Drive. Public parking lot located on Townline Rd. S. (gravel road and lot). Please adhere to these restrictions for everyone’s benefit. Cheers, Jim Richards (former Manager, McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve) (Founder, Friends of Second Marsh)
