Windsor Reservoir
Often confused with Windsor Lake, which is three miles south in the town of Windsor, Windsor Reservoir is larger and often attracts more birds. It is a particularly good place to find diving ducks and flocks of gulls. However, it is a private lake relatively far from the road, so it can be difficult to view; a scope is required. The best spot to scan from is the end of the dam, near the busy intersection of CR 74 and CR 19. Be cautious of traffic when parking and walking.
Restrictions: Please respect private property. Beware of traffic when parking on the roadside.
