Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary

Waseeka remains open however, due to beaver activity and related issues, pond shore trails and dam access remain flooded. We are currently evaluating various options to alleviate the situation. Restoration work will most likely begin late summer or fall 2006, typically a time of low water.
The sanctuary features a secluded pond that harbors interesting wildlife at different times of the year. Have your binoculars or spotting scope ready when you cross the dam because it offers a great view of the pond. Take a walk on the one-mile trail where you may see great blue herons, spotted sandpipers, kingfishers, bluebirds, otters, and mink. The sanctuary is highlighted with color in the summer and fall when its orchids and wildflowers are in bloom.
