Effective Oct 1,2011 there is a new entrance to the Oyster River Enhancement Society Hatchery. As we are part of Bear Creek Nature Park we will be using the entrance provided within the park .The Bear Creek Nature Park entrance is located 2.3 kilometers after turning onto MacAulay Rd. The signage for the park is on the right side of the road. This park entrance road is a one way road that is a horseshoe shape and exits back out onto MacAulay Rd. just north of the entrance. Once you have entered the park keep driving until you see a large yellow gate. The flat area around the gate is for vehicle parking. Please do not block the gate.The general public will then walk past the locked gate and down the hill until they cross the bridge. Signage is then provided to find the hatchery. This is a steep gravel road so proper footwear is a good idea. Members of the Oyster River Enhancement Society will have access keys for the yellow gate so they can bring in necessary equipment to assist with weekly maintenance volunteer duties. For the month of Oct 2011 there will be a volunteer at the yellow gate on Tues. to assist hatchery volunteers. This will help with the transition to the new access road until we become more familiar with it.
