Managed Forest Report
Further to the recently sent out email that was distributed to William’s Landing Owners about the Managed Forestry Project, this report documents the findings of the assessment conducted by Peter McElwain, a local, and a provincially recognized Managed Forest Planner. It also provides further details concerning the Forest Management Plan that was registered with the province. The project itself was time sensitive due to the coincidental availability of the required crews and machinery. Further details are provided below.
Godfrey and Jean Tyler and their children, Joanie and Sam, operate Waverley Brook Farm at 6359 Gelert Road, a 15-minute drive from WL.
William’s Landing is a special place in winter. The snow is so white and the sky so blue it hurts your eyes. Moms, dads, grandads and grandmas pitch in to clear a rink on Kashagawigamog Lake. Kids play pick-up games of hockey using boots as goalposts. Voyageurs snowshoe along the waterfront trail. Folks head out onto the lake to auger a hole in the ice and drop a line for fish.

With the new high-speed, reliable internet service (50 MB, unlimited downloads) at William’s Landing you can confidently enjoy the freedom of the beautiful Haliburton Highlands right outside the window of your lakeside cottage without fear of missing out on important meetings or your favourite streaming show.
Article and photos by Ian Darragh - On your next stay at William’s Landing, check out the four new kayaks that have been added to our fleet of watercraft. The florescent, yellow and green kayaks were designed and manufactured in Picton, Ontario, by ClearWater Design, a Canadian company founded in 1995. We have purchased four of their Inuvik models.
Article and photos by Ian Darragh - The newest wildlife reserve in Haliburton County has seven km of well-marked trails — plus 40 waterfalls, blue herons, turtles, spring flowers and more. The 600 acres of Barnum Creek Nature Reserve opened to the public on Oct. 15, 2020. It’s the closest nature reserve to William’s Landing, it is just an 10-km drive off Gelert Road, County Road 1.
In case any of you are wondering...YES...there is still a lot of snow at Williams Landing in the spring of 2019. And, this is not an April Fools joke. The plows are still busy, you still need your snow tires and the ice is still frozen over. Our Williams Landing property is beautiful this morning. The sun is shining and the skies are a bright blue. With no breeze, today will another relaxing day at WL.
Driving or hiking around William's Landing, you are bound to come across some wild turkeys. In this picture, taken in early Feb 2018, there were over 30 turkeys crossing Lake Kash Road. But, did you know that prior to 1984, wild tukeys were nowhere to be found in Ontario? They were re-introduced at that time.
Have you ever wondered how we get our docks in and out of Lake Kash? Have a look at these pictures. The docks are lifted by Hopskins Crane Service from Minden. The docks were put into the water within a week of the last remants of ice disappeared off the lake....near freezing temperatures.
