Start/end at the Amherst Island Ferry dock: Meet at 7:20 am for the 7:30 am ferry departure from Millhaven, aiming for the noon return ferry from Amherst Island. Since parking at the Amherst Island ferry dock is limited, we suggest parking at the waterfront park/rest stop located 1 km west of the dock.
The plan is to circumnavigate the island in a clockwise fashion, stopping at a few pre-planned birding hotspots and otherwise when we see or hear interesting birds. Hopefully we’ll see some interesting fall migrants. We likely won’t need to stray far from our bikes so additional footwear is not necessary. Total distance about 32 km, slow pace with frequent stops; gravel or mountain bike preferable for the dirt roads. Bring snacks, water, and binoculars if available. The usual $1.50 for the ferry ride with a bicycle may currently be suspended but bring the fare just in case.
