Peterborough--Johnston Drive Ponds

Peterborough--Johnston Drive Ponds

Tips for Birding

Johnston Drive can be busy and has narrow shoulders, so exercise caution viewing the ponds in the fields from the road. A spotting scope can be useful here.

Boots are recommended for accessing the wetlands/ponds along the right of way.

About this Location

This site provides road side viewing of ponds and seasonally flooded fields.

It also provides access to a series of ponds/wetland (not viewable from the road) via a right of way where Johnston Drive becomes Beardsmore Road at Worboy Court.

Worboy Court is a dead end and provides a safe spot to park to access the right of way.
