Regional Highlights

From cycling to birding, our region is wide open with outdoor adventures and recreational activities. Pedal along our scenic waterfront trail or, if horsepower is more your speed, rev it up and kick it into gear down one of our winding motorcycle routes. Don’t forget to look up because our region is also a top birding hotspot, with over 370 species of rare and migratory birds flocking here each spring 
and fall. If you prefer tees over tweets, take a swing at one of our spectacular championship golf courses. Or, if you’re angling for great sport fishing, cast your line and reel in some of our abundant Muskie, Walleye, Bass and Yellow Perch. Explore our natural wonders with an eco-tourism excursion, such as hiking through the lush Carolinian forests, wetlands and savannahs at Point Pelée National Park, or take the short ferry ride to Pelée Island, an oasis of calm and beauty amid Lake Erie.

Point Pelée National Park

Point Pelée National Park is a national park in Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada where it extends into Lake Erie. The word pelée is French for ‘bald’. Point Pelée consists of a peninsula of land, mainly of marsh and woodland habitats, that tapers to a sharp point as it extends into Lake Erie. Middle Island, also part of Point Pelée National Park, was acquired in 2000 and is just north of the Canada–United States border in Lake Erie. Point Pelée is the southernmost point of mainland Canada, and is located on a foundation of glacial sand, silt and gravel that bites into Lake Erie. This spit of land is slightly more than seven kilometres long by 4.5 kilometers wide at its northern base. Established in 1918, Point Pelée was the first national park in Canada to be established for conservation. It was designated as a Ramsar site on 27 May 1987.
