Should be very easy to get to. Smooth, level trail to the lookout.
This is another great spot hidden in Eastern Ontario. My wife absolutely loves it here and has been bugging me to place a cache here for a while. We headed out this afternoon in hope of seeing some of the migrating birds. I hope you enjoy visiting here as much as my wife does. Make sure you bring your binoculars (although there is a real good pair there also).
The Alfred Lagoons are two 20-acre ponds (8 ha.) created for the purpose of collecting and then transforming wastewater thanks to the combined effects of the sun, water and plant-life found here.
Lagoons, like the ones in Alfred, are found all over Ontario, but very few have as much to offer as those in Alfred.
The Alfred Lagoons provide habitat for more than one hundred species of mostly aquatic birds; many nest here while others, in large numbers, visit in the spring and the fall.
Many nesting records and observations of provincially or nationally rare or significant birds have been documented at the lagoons, of which five are considered vulnerable by the "Bird Studies Canada" : Aythya Americana, Ruddy Duck, American Coot, Wilson's Phalarope and the Black Tern. The Peregrine Falcon, a breed in danger of disappearance, has been seen at the lagoons.
This highly publicized location has earned a favorable reputation amongst bird enthusiasts who are well aware that any time spent at the Alfred Lagoons promises to be filled with pleasant surprises and quality observations.
