Wylie Road is reached from Toronto by taking Highway 48 north past Beaverton, turning east following signs for the Kirkfield Liftlock, and proceeding to Kirkfield. At the four corners in Kirkfield, look for signs for the liftlock and the Carden Plain Important Bird Area; follow those signs by turning north (left)onto Kawartha Lakes 6. Proceed under the liftlock and continue on 6 until it curves to the left (west). Make a right onto McNamee Road (notice the IBA information billboard at the turn), and make a quick left (north) onto Wylie Road. If you're coming from the north, get to Wylie Road from Kawarth Lakes 6 by following signs to Lake Dalrymple. Go through the hamlet of Lake Dal. and look for Alvar Road on your right. Follow Alvar Road for several interesting km. and turn right onto Wylie Road. Nath Rockhill Box 12, RR 4 Kirkfield 705-438-1301
