3 BACKGROUND, GOALS and OBJECTIVES The Municipality of Dysart has more than 100 lakes within its boundaries, and is a popular recreational boating and fishing area for residents, cottagers, and visitors. The increasing interest in the recreational use of our lakes and rivers has resulted in growing pressure on existing lake launch facilities. Additionally, more people are participating in non-motorized boating activities such as canoe and kayak, and are looking for additional or new opportunities to enjoy the outdoor experience Dysart is famous for. There is a shortage of public launch sites on many lakes within Dysart et al boundaries, however the lack of good options for new sites due to topography, possible environmental concerns, as well as capital and ongoing maintenance costs is a challenge in identifying and developing new opportunities. Identifying existing and new destinations around our lakes for motorized and non-motorized participants seeking motor to or paddle to trips will result in more use of these sites as well, so it is important that we take a close look at existing sites and how we might maximize the positive experience for those people who use them. These could include identifying beaches for swimming, picnic areas, hiking and water trails, sites of historical interest, shopping and restaurants. Identification of the type of launch sites; e.g. motorized, non motorized, hand launch, or disabled accessible is desirable as well. The public is concerned with the lack of knowledge around boating rules, keeping our water bodies safe from invasive species, and water etiquette, both at the launches and on the lakes. A water education program in conjunction with a consistent, standardized signage system is desirable to minimize confusion and to generate an increase in public interest. Transforming Ideas into Reality Developing goals and objectives is an important part of the planning process. Goals and Objectives provide overall guidance and vision for the future of developing new recreation opportunities within the community and are based on the recreation inventory, data, and public input collected throughout the planning process. The ideas and recommendations contained within this Discussion Paper determines proposed projects that help to meet these Goals and Objectives. The goals were developed in deference to the economic realities of today. As such, these goals will need to be conscientiously prioritized within the context of limited resources. GOALS 1. Increase public awareness and knowledge of the recreational opportunities which exist within Dysart. 2. Provide multi-generational recreational opportunities within the Municipality. 3. Develop new facilities that will expand recreational opportunities for all residents and visitors. 4. Strengthen recreation opportunities which take advantage of the diverse and unique water resources within Dysart. 5. Support the development of potential water trails within Dysart. 6. Increase public access to the rivers and lakes for fishing, canoe, kayak, boat access, wildlife viewing and overall access. 7. Develop opportunities, alone or in partnership with other agencies, to educate citizens about the area s natural resources. 8. Develop promotional brochures and materials with information on the opportunities. 9. Develop and implement programs that benefit the economic development and stability of the Municipality 10. Be a community that celebrates and promotes recreational tourism. 3
4 This document contains 4 major components: 1. Recommendations for future development of new and existing launch sites within Dysart 2. Vision for enhancing Head Lake Park water front usage as it specifically relates to watercraft initiatives. 3. Recommendations for future public input, awareness campaigns, creating new outdoor adventure experiences, new economic opportunities and common signage 4. Current launch locations within Dysart detailing current status, as well as some possible new sites to be considered (Appendix 1) DYSART LAUNCH SITE RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Public Information: It is recommended that the Municipality of Dysart re-name the current brochure Public Boat Launching Facilities in Dysart to "Public Lake and River Access Sites in Dysart" to better reflect the identification of motorized, non- motorized or hand launch only facilities and include destinations, amenities, rules, regulations, and etiquette on the lakes and rivers. The brochure should be available at the municipal office, tourism caboose, area lodging and other commercial facilities, Chamber of Commerce and the County Tourism office. It should also be provided in a downloadable format on the Municipal website. 2. Consistent Site Directional Signage and Information Placards The physical visitation of current launch sites within Dysart revealed a major problem that needs to be addressed immediately. The Municipality budgets dollars every year for the maintenance of its 26 identified sites, however, directional signage is very poor or in most cases non-existent. It is recommended that Dysart review current signage standards, and immediately implement a plan to provide and install adequate directional and site signage to current access sites 3. Water Trail ("Park n Paddle") Identification: It is recommended that appropriate water trails be identified, signed and information on access and egress sites be developed and included in the new "Public Lake and River Access Sites in Dysart" pamphlet. Course descriptions should include average length of time to complete, skill level required, portages if any, equipment (kayak, canoe, tube etc). Consultation with relevant local businesses and people with a strong background in canoeing/kayaking should be considered as part of developing a Park 'n Paddle program. Initial locations worth further examination: a. Benoir Lake Access to Elephant Lake Access b. Percy River from Eagle Lake (bridge on Cty 6) to Cranberry Lake access or new alternate c. Cranberry Lake access to West Guilford beach d. Head Lake Park to Sculpture Forest and Museum e. Redstone dam to Eagle Lake f. Oblong Dam to Moose Lake g. Outlet Bay, Drag Lake to Highland Street bridge, Haliburton 4. Public Consultation Process It is recommended that the Dysart Recreation Committee and Municipal staff take the lead to develop and conduct a public consultation process to determine the views of individuals, groups and organizations who have a significant interest in establishing future guidelines for access sites. Consultation may include processes such as public meetings, polls, and individual meeting with groups and organizations. 4
5 5. Future Site(s) Development It is recommended that following the public consultation process, sites approved (either new or existing) and identified as requiring development or improvement, that the Dysart Recreation Committee and Municipal staff research and seek the necessary funding from appropriate resources. The Committee should also examine local partnership opportunities with groups and/or organizations for the ongoing maintenance of launch sites identified as part of the official Dysart Public Lake and River Access Facilities Program. HEAD LAKE WATERFRONT RECOMMENDATIONS For purposes of this discussion paper, the Head Lake Park includes the eastern part of Head Lake from the Rotary Beach area, to and just beyond the current Government Dock boat launch. Improving the Head Lake Park has started with a variety of initiatives and community partners and include new washroom facilities, the new band shell, and Rotary beach improvements. Development of this jewel (Head Lake Park) needs to be done carefully and with a well defined goal. Current Head Lake "Town Dock Government Launch" It is recommended that the current Head Lake Government Dock Launch facility continue to serve as a no fee launch facility, with the recognition that the area is a multi-use area serving people of all ages with a variety of recreational amenities. Efforts should be made to better sign how vehicles with trailers should park to maximize the very limited general parking. Other Motorized Boat Launches- It is recommended that, in addition to the Head Lake launch, a new boat launch be developed within the Rotary Beach - Head Lake Park area if possible to serve the community of Haliburton. Alternate sites on Head Lake for consideration include Glebe Park area, and the park at north end of the lake across from Harmony Rd. The parking lot should be operated on a user pay basis. Install parking ticket machines, and monitor the lots for compliance. Regular users should have the option to purchase a seasonal permit. Non-motorized Boat Launches It is recommended that one or more specific locations around Head Lake be designated and developed as hand launch only and that appropriate improvements for dockage and launch options be undertaken in the short, medium and long term. Unique Docking Requirement Study It is recommended that a feasibility study be undertaken to examine the possibility for the provision of docking/access facilities for dragon boats and float planes on Head Lake. Partnership with Haliburton BIA "Boating for Business" Program. Develop a marketing initiative focused around encouraging residents, cottagers, and visitors on the Head, Grass, Kashagawigamog, Canning and Soyers Lake chain to boat to Haliburton as a unique shopping experience. 5
6 Recommendation: It is recommended that the Municipality install additional docking and a hand launch site located in the area across from the Tourism Caboose, and conduct a review on options to improve travel to and from the downtown core with shopping carts. If the business area defined as being from Tim Horton's to Country Rose is included in the program, the Municipality in partnership with BIA and local businesses develop signage and marked pathways along the area to ensure visitor safety. It is further recommended that the BIA consider providing shopping carts for the boating shopper, and apply in partnership with the Municipality for a summer student program that will provide students with valuable customer service training to: act as ambassadors welcoming visitors and shoppers, assist people dock their boats upon arrival, maintain cleanliness of dock areas, and assist shoppers access and load their boats, and return shopping carts to the various businesses. Other partners in such a program could include: The other major shopping area in Haliburton; the Independent Grocery, Beer Store, RPM Marina, Haliburton Lumber retail area. Seek business partnership for shopping docking area e.g. RPM, Patient News The various lake associations including: o The Lake Kashagawigamog Organization o Soyers Lake Association o Canning Lake Property Owners Association Kayak, canoe or other watercraft rentals It is recommended that negotiations with a variety of local retailers of kayaks, canoes or other nonmotorized water craft be initiated with a goal of one or more businesses providing product to be available for use on Head Lake. Destination paddling to and from the Sculpture Forest and/or the Museum should be promoted as a unique low impact activity. This would be located near, and operated by tourism staff at the Caboose. 6
7 APPENDIX ONE Current Launch Locations within Dysart Assessment The first step in developing recommendations for the Municipality of Dysart to consider was the collection of site-specific information. This involved a visit to each launch site as identified on the Municipality of Dysart's website.

The Fisheries Act defines fish habitat as spawning grounds and nursery, rearing, food supply and migration areas on which fish depend directly or indirectly in order to carry out their life processes. This definition indicates that watercourses, including but not limited to streams, ditches, lakes, ponds and wetlands, that provide water or nutrients into a fish bearing stream or lake, are considered fish habitat even if they do not directly support fish and/or if they only have temporary or seasonal flows. This definition also indicates that not only the watercourse itself but also vegetated streamside (riparian) areas that provide nutrients and shade to the stream or lake are considered fish habitat. Section 35 of the Fisheries Act in particular prohibits the harmful alternation, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat that is not authorized in advance by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Depositing sediment or any other deleterious substance into streams supporting fish is also prohibited under Section 36(3) of the Fisheries Act. The Fisheries Act can be found online at Please also check out the following website: for additional guideline documents and, in particular, the document Habitat Conservation and Protection Guidelines (1998). For further information regarding works that may result in a HADD of fish habitat, please contact your nearest DFO Field Office. Navigable Waters Protection Act The Navigable Waters Protection Program (NWPP) of Transport Canada ensures protection of the public right to navigation and protection of the environment through the administration of the Navigable Waters Protection Act. Program responsibilities of importance to boat launch construction include the approval of works built or placed in, on, over, under, through or across navigable water in Canada prior to construction of the work(s); the removal of obstructions to navigation, including unauthorized works; and, regulating the provision and maintenance of lights, markers, etc. required for safe navigation. Before you start your project, you should contact the nearest NWPP office in your area to determine what information and documentation is required for you to submit an application under the Navigable Waters Protection Act. Further information regarding the Navigable Waters Protection Act is available online at Ships-and-operations-standards/nwp/menu.htm 30
