DIRECTIONS :
DIGNARD LAGOON: (I have modified Tony Beck's directions from his previous
post) From Hwy 417 take exit 88, go south on Hwy 28 to Route 200. Turn left
on route 200. The lagoon is found behind the large "Dignard Constructed
Wetland" sign on your right hand side at the corner of Route 200 and Hwy 28
(St-Guillaume Rd).
The "South Nation Conservation" requests that birders park on the side of
the road, and respect the farmer's private property.
HIGH FALLS : From Hwy 417 take exit 66 toward Casselman. Go about 2 km on
Rue Principale Rd to the South Nation River. The High Falls Conservation
Area is on your right.
EMBRUN SEWAGE LAGOONS:
