I went out to Little Mere Lake and North Lake by the Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area in late June.Nearest washrooms are likely at Chickakoo Lake or Muir Lake.
The best access is on the east end of North Lake (on the right) where Township Road 540 and Range Road 12A intersect. Parking is on the shoulder and there are two possible entry points (yellow circles below).
The lefthand circle is down the bank and enters at a culvert. You then paddle through some trees to get to the lake. This was the best spot last year when the water was low but we had to wind through the trees some. With the water a foot higher this year, no winding was required but the entry was sightly more challenging (off the slope).
The righthand circle was not possible last year with lower water but is now (see below) and is an easy entry and exit. It is beside the "80kmh sign".
I ended up very close to a nest by accident (eggs obscured by mud).
