Wylie Road/Sedge Wren Marsh is reached by driving east of Orillia on Hwy. 12 to Brechin. From just south of Brechin, take Road 47 east and north to Road 6. Go east on Road 6 to McNamee Road. Follow McNamee about 100 m to Wylie Road and travel north through the pastures to the marsh. Continue north on Wylie to Alvar Road and turn west.
