A NATURE LOVER'S PARADISE Located only one hour from the Windsor/Detroit border, near Leamington, POINT PELEE NATIONAL PARK has more rare and endangered plants and animals than anywhere in Canada, thus making it the most popular park in Canada's National Parks System. It is a nature lover's paradise with over 700 species of plant life and is renowned as the finest place in North America for birdwatching.
There are 22.5 km of sand and pebble beaches, a mile long boardwalk and nature trails. |
|  | THE "TIP" OF CANADA Point Pelee is Canada's most Southern point. THE "TIP" is a sandspit extending into Lake Erie. The length and shape of the sandspit varies according to water levels and currents. The shuttle from the Visitor Centre drops you off at the Trailhead where this picture was taken. |
MARSH BOARDWALK We walked along the MARSH BOARDWALK. It's about a mile long and took us a little over an hour to walk it. We saw numerous water lillies, several turtles, a few black birds and heard many frogs jumping into the water when they heard us approach. All in all it was a wonderful experience. | | |

Lori, fantastic page about this gem of Ontario. It is always a good idea to have a meeting isn't it? | evaanna Fri Apr 17, 2009 21:29 UTC
Lovely and very informative page! I was truly impressed with your knowledge of bird species. I'm sure you would enjoy our Mazury region with its lakes and masses of water lilies. | ATXtraveler Mon Apr 21, 2008 02:56 UTC
