Birch Lake (76.6 km)
At Birch Lake, you’ll find a parking lot with signage, garbage facilities, and washrooms. To reach the lake, follow a gentle slope that is commonly used as a boat launch. Once at the shore, game trails help you follow the lake's edge. From this vantage point, you can observe various birds, including great blue herons, rose-breasted grosbeaks, orange-crowned warblers, common loons, warbling vireos, Tennessee warblers, solitary sandpipers, hermit thrushes, red-breasted nuthatch, and see osprey catching fish. The lake is stocked annually with trout and is popular for sport fishing. Please note that the roads leading to the site are unpaved and may be affected by weather conditions.
Access: From Caroline, travel west on Highway 54, then turn south onto Range Road 63 and drive for 13 km. Turn right onto an unnamed gravel road and continue for about 2.7 km to Birch Lake. Note: If you reach Township Road 351C near Burnstick Lake, you’ve gone too far.
