HAZEL BIRD NATURE RESERVE TRAIL
Four seasons of exploration await at this property, which is part of the Rice Lake Plains. Don your walking shoes — or, in winter, your snowshoes — and wander your way along the main loop trail that passes through tall grass prairie, sand barren, oak woodland and black oak savannah.
Directions: 1. From Cobourg and Highway 401, drive north on Highway 45 (Baltimore Road) for 5.4 kilometres. 2. Turn left onto Harwood Road/Regional Road 15 and drive 9.1 kilometres. 3. Turn right onto 7 Line/Beavermeadow Road East and travel 1.2 kilometres. The property is on the north side of the road. Please park on the shoulder of the road closest to the nature reserve.
